WHAT DOES GNAWER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gnawer

Rodent

Rodents are mammals of the order Rodentia, characterised by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws that must be kept short by gnawing. About 40% of mammal species are rodents, and they are found in vast numbers on all continents other than Antarctica. Common rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Rodents use their sharp incisors to gnaw food, excavate burrows and defend themselves. Most rodents eat seeds or plants, though some have more varied diets. Rodents interact with humans in a variety of ways, and have been put to many human uses. Some species have been viewed as pests, eating food stored by humans and spreading diseases.
