Tags: Mouse

Mice are small rodents with pointed snouts, rounded ears, and long tails, often found in both wild and domestic environments. Known for their agility and quick movements, they are skilled climbers and can squeeze through tiny gaps. Mice have a strong sense of smell and hearing, helping them detect food and avoid predators. They are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, and occasionally insects. Many species, such as the house mouse, have adapted to living near humans, often considered pests due to their habit of contaminating food and causing property damage. However, mice also play vital roles in ecosystems as prey for larger animals. Some breeds, like the fancy mouse, are kept as pets due to their social and curious nature.
