The puzzle so far:


I am a rodent that comes in man- different colors and -ith man- different mar-ings.
I also can have curl- hair, -av- hair, or even no hair at all. Some -eo-le
do not li-e me because of m- long tail. I have been domesticated for a -hile no- and
have become a ver- -o-ular -et rodent. I ma-e several vocali-ations including loud
chir-s or s-ueels -hen I am frightened. Some of us are born -ith large round ears set
lo- on the head. This is referred to as being a "Dumbo". Can -ou guess -hat I am?
