Rodents are a diverse group of vertebrate animals characterized by their long, sharp incisor teeth adapted for gnawing and chewing food.
They are known for their rapid reproduction and inhabit a wide variety of habitats, from forests and grasslands to urban areas.
Rodents feed on a wide range of foods, including seeds, fruits, vegetation, and, in some cases, meat. Among the most well-known rodents are rats, mice, squirrels, and guinea pigs.
In addition to their ecological importance, some rodents have a significant role in scientific research and as pets.
