What does MURID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoologytechnical
A rodent belonging to the Muridae, the very large family that includes most rats, mice, and voles.
Zoologists classify a murid as a member of the family Muridae, the single largest family of mammals on Earth, containing well over a thousand species spread across every continent except Antarctica. The family unites familiar animals such as the house mouse and the brown rat with hundreds of less familiar rodents, all sharing key features of the skull and teeth that define the group. Because the murid family is so large and varied, biologists further divide it into numerous subfamilies to organise its many genera and species. The related adjective murine describes anything belonging to or resembling this family, whether referring to the animals themselves or to laboratory research conducted on mice and rats.
