The Order Rodentia comprises of more than 2,000 species which are subdivided into three distinct types and thirty families. Capromyidae, Castoridae, Crictidae, Erethizontidae, Muridae, Sciuridae and Zapodidae are some of the most common families. Muridae is the largest, containing nearly two-thirds of all rodent species. Eg: sand rats, gerbils, crested rats, old world rats and mice. Cricetidae is the second largest, and has approximately 600 species. Eg: mouse-like hamsters such as gerbils, crested rats, white-tailed rats and door mice. Sciruridae family has fewer than 100 species.
