Contest: ENTER Misc. Avatar Contest: Rodents!

[scotpens]

Okay, so we've done "Squirrels." But this time, entries may be images of any mammal of the order Rodentia. Real animals only; no artwork, illustrations or cartoons and no media images. I'll accept multiple entries of the same species but let's try for some variety. That should be easy with over 2000 known rodent species!

Usual avatar rules apply: max. dimensions 200 by 200 pixels, max. file size 1 MB. You may enter up to 4 avatars.

Here are my entries:

The industrious North American beaver.

That familiar garden pest, the pocket gopher.

^^ Sorry, I'll have to disqualify the bat. Bats aren't rodents -- they belong to the order Chiroptera.

I'm bumping this to the top so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Did you know that 40 percent of all known mammal species are rodents? The bucktoothed furry buggers are everywhere. Let's have a few more entries, people!

I'll leave this open over the weekend in the hope of attracting a couple more entries. Voting thread goes up Monday morning.

How about fancy rats? Guinea pigs? Gerbils? Anyone up for an agouti?

 

[Avro Arrow]

Gerbils?

OK.

Here you see "Scotty", the gerbil who powers the TrekBBS server!
