House Mouse
Mus musculus
The adult House Mouse lives around human buildings, farms, fields, hedgerows, and storage areas, usually staying active at night. It eats seeds, grains, fruit, scraps, and insects, using keen smell, whisker touch, climbing skill, and rapid scurrying to find food while avoiding predators. Its incisors never stop growing, so it must gnaw regularly on hard materials to wear them down. This species is famous for thriving almost anywhere people provide shelter and food.
