I have two different urdf models for two different robots. Can I show them in the same map in rviz?

There are many possible duplicates, try searching e.g. for multiple robots rviz site:answers.ros.org. If your question is still not answered you can update it with more details.

@aPonza: would be good to add: "try searching with Google".

You can show two different robots in the same RViz map. However you have to create a single URDF file and define two robot models separately.

Load the urdfs into separate parameters. (/robot_description_a and /robot_description_b)

In RViz, add two separate RobotModel elements, and have each reference a different parameter.
