The mouse is a small rodent belonging to the family Muridae. It typically has a pointed snout, large ears, and a long, hairless tail. Mice are found in various habitats around the world and are known for their adaptability. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and grains. Mice are social animals and often live in groups. They are known for their quick movements and ability to squeeze through small openings. In scientific research, the house mouse (Mus musculus) is commonly used as a model organism due to its genetic similarities to humans and its short reproductive cycle.
