Summary/Abstract: Rodents are one of the most numerous groups of mammals whose multiple representatives live in close proximity to people. The corpse of a person can serve them as a nutritive base. The morphology and features of the postmortem damages of the soft tissues and bones caused by the teeth of rats and mice are surveyed. It is confirmed that such injuries have a distinct picture. Under qualitatively performed inspection of the scene and detailed research of the corpse and its clothes, this distinct picture allows accurate differentiation of injuries caused by rats from damages inflicted by other animals. This knowledge is necessary for every expert-thanatologist in his practical work.
