Definition

  1. 1
    (Rodentia) Orden de mamíferos que cuenta con el mayor número de especies (entre 2000 y 3000). Los roedores se caracterizan por: la presencia de un único par de incisivos superiores de crecimiento continuo con una gruesa capa de esmalte en la parte delantera. Los machos poseen un hueso peneano y las hembras útero doble. Casi todos los roedores se alimentan de plantas excepto por algunas cuantas especies que comen insectos, peces y pajaros. Los roedores para mantener el tamaño de sus incisivos deben desgastarlos constantemente de ahí el origen de su nombre.
  2. 2
    Por antonomasia, el ratón doméstico, un roedor de tamaño mediano, cola desprovista de pelo y orejas redondeadas.
