The Red Fir Forest

Rodents

Here at Echo Lake camp we have marmots, Douglas's squirrels, golden-mantled ground squirrels, chipmunks, mice and porcupines.

Rodents have one pair of incisors in each jaw which grow throughout their life. Thick enamel layers on the front causes them to retain their chisel shape as they wear down.

Rodents have no canines, but usually have a few molars at the rear of their jaws.
