House Mouse

## Information and inspirational quotes about this iconic rodent

*Main article:House Mouse*.

*Mice are mice, and people are people. If we look to the mouse to model every aspect of the disease for man, and to model cures, we're just wasting our time*.

~ Dr. Clif Barry.

The **house mouse** (*Mus musculus*) is one of the most widely distributed and successful mammals in the world. It has dull greyish-brown fur and the tail, which is the same length as the body, is thicker and scalier than that of other species of mice. It is accompanied by a distinctive strong ‘stale’ odour and its presence can easily be detected by means of its droppings. Forms of this species living in association with man (‘commensal’ forms) tend to be larger and darker than ‘wild’ forms and have longer tails. The voice is a familiar high-pitched squeak.

## Reproduction

Female mice (Also known as does) go into heat for 4 or 5 days. Once pregnant, female mice give birth after 3 weeks. Litters consist of 5 or 8 pups or pinkies, and **females can reproduce up to 10 times per year**. At the start of the mouse life cycle, newborns are hairless and blind.
