Rodentia

Rodentia is the largest group of mammals, including animals like mice, rats, squirrels, beavers, and hamsters. They are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing front teeth that they constantly wear down through gnawing. Rodents are highly adaptable, found in many environments worldwide, and play essential roles in ecosystems as seed dispersers, prey for numerous predators, and sometimes as pests. Their diverse forms range from small, agile creatures to larger, more specialized species. Overall, rodents are a vital and abundant part of the animal kingdom, showcasing impressive evolutionary diversity and ecological importance.
