Rodents are an important part of the ecosystem as they are a big source of food for many predators due to the fact that they reproduce rapidly. They help with seed dispersal but most notably, they are carriers of many deadly diseases, which is nature's way of controlling human and animal population.

In most ecosystems, you would typically find more rodents than owls.
