👉 The term "Odontodactylidae" refers to a group of small-to-medium-sized, eutherian mammals that are primarily found in the Northern Hemisphere and have been closely related to humans for thousands of years. These animals include rodents such as mice and voles, which are also known as "rodents" due to their similar appearance and behavior. The term is derived from the Latin word "odontus," meaning "to bite."
