The Nagasaki Bio Park zoo in Japan has an ingenious and incredibly cut way of moving large amounts of guinea pigs between enclosures.
When the zoo staff need to move the guinea pigs from one play enclosure to the next, they extend what is possibly the most adorable suspension bridge in the world across the gap between them.
The guinea pigs, which seem to know exactly what to do, file across in an orderly fashion.
So civil!

Piggies! They will naturally form a guinea pig train head-to-tail like that in the wild, to confuse predators. Cute!
pretty smart idea ...pigs like cattle will play follow the leader automatically...good idea ~~
why does every 5th one stop and smile at the camera??? I LURVE giggy pigs!!
everyone knows to get Guinea Pigs to move; you need a Peruvian Flute Band playing.
NOT QUITE WHAT YOU THINK!! It's the same few guinea pigs - notice the one which stops and looks to it's right & you will see the repeat
Did no body notice it was the same six guinea pigs over and over again?
How come none of them jump off? But then of course - they are Japanese: very ordered and civilised.
There is obviously someone at the other end of the bridge, shaking a plastic bag! Plastic bags=produce=yumminess to piggies.
