 Other cavies such as "C. magna" and "C. aperea" have significant home-range data suggesting that males home ranges are larger than females, while "C. intermedia" have home ranges of averaging 1,700 m^2 for both male and female cavies.Communication and socialization is assumed different in "C. intermedia" populations than with "C. magna" and other "Cavia" species due to similar home-range sizes.Because of the species low population size and small geographic location, "C. intermedia" is considered Critically Endangered.
