Rodents… some people love them and keep them as pets, some people disdain them as troublesome pests, and still others are terrified of them. There are thousands of different rodent species, from agoutis to zokors. Even taking into account only the populations of the more widespread species, there are billions of individuals worldwide—so it’s probably wise to learn a little about our small fuzzy neighbors, even if you don’t consider yourself a rodent lover.
Take this quiz to expand your rodent horizons!
Question #1: What is the characteristic defining feature of rodents (order Rodentia)?
A. Their very long tails

+ add your ownsurprised myself with 9 out of 10 :) Thank you for sharing.
thanks
7 out of 9, not bad if I say so myself.
Many endangered native rodents in Oz :(
8/10 did a lot better than I thought. i love mice.. especially pet store mice, but I wish they wouldnt come into my house.
Have rats for over 10 years now, they are really all over the place ^.^
very independent and intelligent beings.
didn't know though that they can live without water for such al long time and here i change their water bottles every day!
I knew they tricked me again!
Looks like a fun and informative quiz...but 10 jumps is way too many. At least 2 or 3 questions and answers could have been placed "per page".
9/10 rodentia is my favorite animal order (beside cetacea and corvidae)
Interesting info...
Great facts but I still do not like them, except for hampsters.
Very interesting, thanks.
