Why is "List of neotomines" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

Neotominae is a subfamily of mammals in the rodent family Cricetidae, which in turn is part of the Myomorpha suborder in the order Rodentia. Members of this subfamily are called neotomines and include deer mice, pack rats, and grasshopper mice. They are found in North America, Central America, and northwestern South America, primarily in forests, shrublands, grasslands, and deserts, though some species can be found in rocky areas and wetlands. They range in size from the northern pygmy mouse, at 5 cm (2 in) plus a 3 cm (1.2 in) tail, to the bushy-tailed woodrat, at 25 cm (10 in) plus a 22 cm (9 in) tail. Neotomines generally eat seeds, nuts, roots, stems, leaves, and invertebrates. Almost no neotomines have population estimates, but 14 species are categorized as endangered, and 16 species are categorized as critically endangered, some with population sizes of less than 50. One species, Pemberton's deer mouse, was driven extinct in the 1900s.
