The two orders most distantly related to Rodentia are Chiroptera (bats) and Carnivora (carnivorous mammals like dogs and cats). These orders belong to different clades within the class Mammalia, with Chiroptera being part of the clade Laurasiatheria and Carnivora also falling under Laurasiatheria, while Rodentia is part of the clade Glires. This evolutionary separation indicates significant divergence in their lineage compared to rodents.
