| Definition | (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. | Baile tradicional ejecutado en forma de rueda o círculo, típico de la Sierra de Gredos y del Valle del Alberche, en el sur de la provincia de Ávila, la Sierra de San Vicente en el norte de Toledo y la Sierra Oeste de Madrid. |
