Rodentia

Rodentia is an order of mammals characterized by continually growing incisors that they use for gnawing and chewing. This diverse group includes familiar creatures like mice, rats, squirrels, and beavers. Rodents are found worldwide and occupy various habitats, displaying adaptability and resourcefulness. Their constant gnawing serves practical purposes, helping to maintain their teeth and aiding in tasks such as foraging and building nests. Rodents play crucial roles in ecosystems, serving as prey and seed dispersers and, unfortunately for some, as unwelcome guests in human habitats.
