Pictures of Rodents
All Photos : Animals : Rodents

Pictures of rodents, including chipmunks, squirrels, flying squirrels, rats, prairie dogs, porcupines, muskrats, capybaras, cavies, woodchucks/groundhogs, and beavers. I have detailed information about each species.

Beavers
Beaver pictures, taken in Phillipston, Massachusetts, on a pond. Beavers are considered a keystone species because their creation of dams in shallow valleys leads to the development of wetlands. These wetlands serve as an important ecosystem for many other animals including half of the endangered and threatened species in North America.

Capybaras
Pictures of capybaras. Capybaras are the largest rodent in the world. Adults can weigh up to 140lbs! They occupy areas near standing water and riverbanks in Central and South America.

Cavies
Pictures of Patagonian cavies.

Chipmunks
Chipmunks are small, burrowing rodents which belong to the group of ground squirrels known as Marmots. There are 25 separate species of chipmunk, all but two of which are native to western North America. The exceptions to this are the Siberian Chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus) and the Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus). The photographs on this page are all of Eastern Chipmunks, which is the only species found in the easternmost part of the United States and Canada.

Flying squirrels

Muskrats

Porcupines

Prairie Dogs

Rats

Squirrels
The Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is a tree squirrel (as opposed to ground squirrels such as gophers and woodchucks) native to the eastern and midwestern United States and eastern Canada. It has also been introduced to areas outside its native range in the western United States, and in Britain, where it has all but displaced that country's native Red Squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris).

Woodchucks
The Woodchuck (Marmota Monax) is also commonly called "groundhog", and in some areas, "whistle pig". Its genus, Marmota, includes a number of species of rodent, collectively known as Marmots. Marmots are technically classified as a type of squirrel, but the woodchuck's size, habitat and behaviors differ significantly from what we commonly know as "squirrels".
