Mus minutoides is a small species of mouse found primarily in parts of Africa. It is known for its tiny size, typically measuring around 6 to 10 centimeters in body length, excluding the tail. This mouse prefers grassland and savanna habitats, where it can easily find food and shelter. These mice are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. They feed on seeds, fruits, and insects, playing a role in their ecosystem by helping with seed dispersal. Mus minutoides is also of interest to researchers studying genetics and evolution due to its unique adaptations.
