More About Mice and Rats ...
|
Any one of numerous species of small rodents belonging to the genus Mus and various related genera of the family Muridę. The common house mouse (or laboratory mouse Mus musculus) is found in nearly all countries. The American white-footed mouse (Hesperomys peromyscus), and the deer mouse (Hesperomys
leucopus) sometimes live in houses. These species of mice live commensally with humans.
Mice are popular as pets; special varieties of mice, especially albino ones, are also bred as laboratory specimens. In the 2006 Biosatellite project, for example, a group of mice-astronauts will orbit Earth inside a spinning spacecraft to learn what its like to live on Mars. (
However, mice can also be harmful pests, damaging and eating crops and spreading diseases through their parasites and feces. The domestication of cats is thought to have been for their predation of mice and their relatives, the rats. A mouse trap can also be used to catch mice.
A rat is a small omnivorous rodent of the genus Rattus. Rats are mammals somewhat bigger than their relatives the mice, but seldom weighing over 300 grams.
The term rat is used in the names of other small mammals but they are not true rats. Examples include the wood or pack rat, the Polynesian Rat and a number of species loosely called kangaroo rats. and the Mole Rat, Bandicota bengalensis.
