'''Rodents''' (known scientifically as the order '''Rodentia''') are [[mammal]]s characterized by two pairs of large, continually-growing incisor teeth, kept short by gnawing on the hard shells of seed-nuts or wood.  They are found on every [[continent]] except [[Antarctica]], and range in size from small mice to the 100-pound capybara of [[South America]].
