Rodents lack canine teeth. Where their canine teeth should be is a gap called a diastema between their incisors and their cheek teeth.
Rodents were the only placental mammals to live in Australia until humans arrived.
The African spiny mouse can regenerate its tail if it’s broken off.
Rodents such as chipmunks and hamsters have cheek pouches to store food. When the pouches are full, they can be several times the size of the animal’s head.
