The text claims that a completely bald guinea pig looks like a miniature hippopotamus.
Infact verdict: Mixed (50/100).

Some sources, such as Reddit posts, suggest that shaved guinea pigs resemble tiny hippos. However, these are personal opinions rather than factual assertions. Ricky Gervais' Facebook post clarifies that certain guinea pigs, known as 'Skinnies,' naturally have minimal hair, which might contribute to the comparison. The claim is largely subjective and based on visual perception rather than objective fact.
