Mice are small, furry rodents that belong to the family Muridae. They have long tails, pointed snouts, and large ears, making them easily recognizable. Mice are found in many environments, from fields to homes, and they are known for their quick movements and ability to squeeze through tiny spaces. They are often seen as pests, but they also play important roles in ecosystems as prey for many animals. These creatures are social and often live in groups. Mice are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and small insects. They are also popular in scientific research, particularly in studies related to genetics and disease, due to their fast reproduction and genetic similarities to humans.
