Mäuser, or "mice" in English, are small rodents belonging to the family Muridae. They are characterized by their pointed snouts, large ears, and long tails. Mice are found in various habitats around the world, including fields, forests, and urban areas. They are known for their adaptability and can thrive in diverse environments. Mice are primarily herbivorous, feeding on seeds, grains, and fruits. They play a crucial role in ecosystems as prey for many predators, including birds of prey and snakes. Additionally, mice are often used in scientific research due to their genetic similarities to humans, making them valuable for studying diseases and testing new treatments.
