ʻO nā rodents nā mammals me ʻehā mau ʻāpana ʻokoʻa: ʻelua ma waenakonu o ka lālani o luna o nā niho a ʻelua ma lalo. Ke ulu hou nei kēia mau ʻoki, a hiki i ʻelima millimeters i ka pule. Pau nā ʻūhā i nā manawa a pau no ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā koʻo i nā huaʻai, hāʻule i nā kumulāʻau, a i ʻole eli lua i ka lepo, ma muli o ke ʻano o ka rodent.
Ua kūkulu ʻia nā iwi poʻo o nā ʻiole ma ke ʻano he mana nui no ka nahu ʻana. Loaʻa pū kēia i nā ʻiʻo nau ikaika loa. Ua like ka iwi holoʻokoʻa me ko nā mea momona ʻē aʻe.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā rodents ma nā wahi a pau o ka honua koe wale nō ma nā mokupuni mamao a me Antarctica. He hulu ko na rodents a pau. ʻO ka ʻiole liʻiliʻi a māmā loa he ʻiole hōʻiliʻili, hiki i ka nui o ʻelima grama. ʻO ka rodent nui loa he capybara no ʻAmelika Hema. Aia ma luna o hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi mai ke poʻo a lalo. Hiki ke kaumaha a hiki i 60 kilokani.
ʻAi ka nui o nā rodents i nā mea kanu. Hiki i ka hapa nui o lākou ke ʻeli i ka lāʻau. He kakaikahi na rodents e ai i ka io. Noho ka hapa nui o nā rodents ma ka ʻāina. ʻO kekahi, e like me ka beaver, ua hoʻololi maikaʻi i ke ola i loko o ka wai. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe, e like me nā porcupines, ua hoʻomohala i nā quills e pale iā lākou iho i ko lākou ʻenemi.
ʻO nā rodents, e like me nā mammals ʻē aʻe, hoʻopaʻa i ka ulu ʻana o nā holoholona ʻōpio i ka ʻōpū o ka wahine. ʻO kekahi ʻano o nā rodents e moe moe, e like me ka dormous a me nā marmots.
