Rodents
We generally crinkle our noses when we think of rodents - rats, mice, and other lovelies that we don’t want in our homes or spaces. Yet rodents are a huge Order of animals and they are closer in relation to us (part of the same Superorder) primates. They include some amazing species like beaver, and they have important roles in ecosystems.
