BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Some Indiana University students could face a hefty fine for tossing a guinea pig from a dormitory window with a makeshift parachute.

The students used a garbage bag, dental floss and masking tape to create a parachute and then dropped the animal, Bloomington Animal Shelter manager Leigh Ann Hoffacker said.

Fortunately, the guinea pig landed in a tree and survived. The trembling rodent was discovered moments later by a freshman.

School janitors were able to reach the animal through a third-floor window and Robinson took it to the shelter.

The identities of the students who tossed the guinea pig have yet to be determined, but Hoffacker said the list has been narrowed down by dorm administration.
