Rocket Raccoon is NOT a rodent
I've got a little not-so-serious rant about something in this game
Raccoons are NOT rodents
There are plenty of voicelines and even tie-in comics for Rivals making this mistake and it irks me. At first I thought maybe China has a different classification and their word for raccoon has some translation issue, but that's not the case here, they refer to raccoons as huànxióng (浣熊) which means "Washing bear"
Rodents are classified under the order Rodentia, this is the largest order of mammals, encompassing a whopping 40% of ALL mammals, Squirrel Girl is partially rodent since squirrels are rodents, however raccoons are NOT part of that 40%.
Raccoons are under the order Carnivora, thus making Rocket a Carnivoran, the same order as dogs and bears, going further to the raccoon's biological family, Rocket can be classified as a Procyonid. Whilst it may seem strange, Rocket is more closely related to White Fox than he is Squirrel Girl, as foxes are also under order Carnivora. To put this in perspective, as primates and rodents both reside in superorder Euarchontoglires whilst carnivorans do not, humans are more closely related to rodents than Rocket is.
Ignore this if you’re an Asgardian, as that makes him a rabbit, thus a Lagomorph
