Mouse

A mouse is a small rodent in the genus Mus. It is known for its tiny size, pointed snout, large rounded ears, and a long, scaly tail. The most common species is the domestic house mouse, which lives in close proximity to humans. 🐭

Mice are typically small, with a body length of only a few inches. Their fur is usually gray or brown. They have a slender body, a pointed snout with long whiskers, and large ears and eyes that give them excellent senses of hearing and sight, especially in the dark. Their long tail helps them with balance.

Mice are found on almost every continent and have adapted to a wide variety of environments, from fields and forests to human homes. They are omnivores and will eat almost anything, including grains, seeds, fruits, and insects. In human environments, they often feed on food crumbs and scraps.

Mice are nocturnal and highly social animals. They are known for their rapid reproduction rate, which can lead to large populations. They are a common food source for many predators, including owls, snakes, and foxes. While they are a key part of the food chain in the wild, they are often considered pests in human dwellings due to their ability to damage property and spread diseases.
