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

Rocket Raccoon is NOT a rodent
