Mendel the Guinea Pig mk2

Mendel just wants to scurry around from cache to cache and find cachers who will love him. He loves to have his photo taken and this would be a wonerful way to follow the adventure.

I have fond memories of bb and RVG racing their guinea pigs up the stairs, with  a tempting carrot as the prize!

I love guinea pigs as they welcome you with their 'squeaks' of joy, hence I always call them 'squeakers', happy days....

To stay safe and travel is all I ask, but if taken to events please ensure he is loged both in and out correctly as several bugs have gone to meets and then have vanished! Thanks.

This WAS a flat metal Guinea Pig shaped travel tag. He WAS 'tricoloured' white black and bright orange .Named after the great and largely unknown Gregor Mendel. Now mk2 is a former Ty Baby  soft toy.

Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822 – January 6, 1884) was a German-speaking Silesian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics. Though farmers had known for centuries that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor certain desirable traits, Mendel's pea plant experiments conducted between 1856 and 1863 established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance.The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century (more than three decades later) with the independent rediscovery of these laws. Erich von Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and William Jasper Spillmanindependently verified several of Mendel's experimental findings, ushering in the modern age of genetics

At times we all feel like an experimental guinea pig, when looking for the elusive and well hidden cache! Please look after Mendel, .

If mk1 is found just let me know and I will sort it all out, WW
