Mice are small rodents that originally came from Central and Southwestern Asia. Over thousands of years, these animals have moved into farms and homes for food and shelter. Today, the geographic range is cosmopolitan, which means they live on every single continent except Antarctica.

Mice are small rodents. Mice have pointed snouts, small, rounded ears, a body-length scaly tail, and a high breeding rate.

The best-known mouse species is the common house mouse. People keep mice as pets and use white lab mice widely in medical experiments.

Cats, dogs, foxes, birds, and snakes prey heavily upon mice. Despite this, mice populations remain plentiful. Due to its remarkable adaptability to almost any environment, the mouse is one of the most successful mammalian genera living on earth today.
