Rodents are the largest order of mammals with at least 2,277 living species placed in 481 genera and about 33 families. Well over 40% of mammalian species are rodents. Our collection of rodent images is very modest by comparison, with only 40 species belonging to nine families, mostly from Canada and the United States.
