Mouse

Mice are small rodents belonging to the family Muridae, generally smaller than rats. They are known for their pointed snouts, large ears, slender tails, and omnivorous diet. Mice are widely distributed and adapt to various environments, including human habitations. They are typically nocturnal or crepuscular, feeding on seeds, grains, fruits, insects, and more. Mice have a high reproductive rate and are important laboratory animals in many research fields, such as biomedicine. Wild mice are a food source for many predators, while domesticated ones are often kept as pets or research subjects.
