* Rodents: This is a large group that includes rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, and hamsters. They are known for their quick, scurrying movements.
* Small Carnivores: Animals like weasels, ferrets, and minks are known for their quick, darting movements, often described as scurrying.
* Shrews: These small, mouse-like mammals are also known for their rapid, scurrying movements.
* Opossums: While often associated with their slow, deliberate movements, opossums can scurry quickly when necessary.
* Other: While not as common, other small mammals like rabbits, hares, and even some primates (like marmosets) can scurry in certain situations.
Important Note: It's important to remember that "scurry" is a descriptive term, and not all animals in these groups scurry all the time. Their movement can be influenced by a variety of factors like their environment, what they're doing, and their individual personality.
