Rodentia Iconicus Identifficus
A Field Guide & Rodent Symbol Primer
For The Enthusiast
(#1 in a series)

		I.	Mousekateerus Cuteus Iconicus :
			A small iconic member of the virtual order - 			Tiffus Rodentia.
			Common Name:  Eeeek!
				¬		¬	      
			Spotting Features:  With dainty rounded
			pink ears and small endearing round
			black eyes, we see the lovable Cuteus
			here, in its two most common "pixelated"
			manifestations -
			 .dirus iconicus and .openusdirus iconicus*

			Habitat:  Cuteus frequents various 			graphical environments including houses, 			paths and shelves.  It gets along well with, 			and is often found in cohabitation with, other 			members of the Tiffus phylum.

			Diet:  Cuteus relishes most any form of 			digitized delectable.  As the learned 			iconophile might well imagine, Cuteus'  eyes 			light up and whiskers and crank-like tail 			elevate in grateful anticipation when offered 			such delicacies.

			*  Note: The images accompanying this 			    guide are named in the common to avoid 			    inadvertent deleterious side effects when 			    placed in the enthusiast's files.
