Rodents

Rodents are mammals characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in both the upper and lower jaws. They are highly adaptable and diverse, found in nearly every environment worldwide. Common rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, and hamsters. They play important ecological roles, such as seed dispersal and serving as prey for many predators. However, some species can become pests, spreading diseases and causing damage to crops and property. Their rapid reproduction and adaptability make them successful survivors. Understanding rodents helps in managing their populations and mitigating conflicts with humans.
