pienjyrsijät
Pienjyrsijät, also known as small rodents, encompass a diverse group of mammals characterized by their continuously growing incisors. These rodents are found in almost every terrestrial habitat worldwide, with the exception of Antarctica and a few oceanic islands. Their diet is highly varied, ranging from seeds, fruits, and vegetation to insects and even small vertebrates, depending on the species.
The order Rodentia, to which pienjyrsijät belong, is the largest order of mammals, with over 2,200 species
Reproductively, pienjyrsijät typically have short gestation periods and produce large litters, allowing for rapid population growth.
