The pair of front teeth on the upper jaw and the pair on the lower jaw of rodents grow constantly. This is an adaptation that allows them to gnaw on wood without wearing down their teeth. This is unusual, because most mammals do not have teeth that can grow or repair after they finish their initial development.
