    Solution

    All the other animals — Beaver, Guinea pig, Rat, and Porcupine — are rodents, which share similar characteristics such as gnawing teeth. However, Mongoose is not a rodent; it belongs to the family Herpestidae and is known for its carnivorous diet and behavior, making it different from the others.
