Muridae, the rats and mice, is the largest, most diverse family of mammals. It includes 730 species in 150 genera in 5 subfamilies. These subfamilies include the Leimacomyinae (groove-toothed forest mouse), the Deomyinae (spiny mice, brush furred mice, and link rat), the Gerbillinae (gerbils, jirds, and sand rats), the Murinae (Old World rats and mice), and the Otomyinae (vlei rats, karoo rats, and whistling rats). (Musser and Carleton, 2005)
