They have been used for centuries in laboratories for experimentation, and in the wild nature, these rodents form large flocks.

At the age of two or three months, they can acquire their own offspring, and they give birth to mice. often, up to six times a year. There are many types of mice. The smallest of them are baby mice. A newborn mouse of this species weighs less one gram. In both mice and humans, the joints are arranged in a very similar way, moreover, they even consist of the same number of parts. The mouse loves sugar and sweet fruits even more than cheese. While running, they can reach speeds of up to 13 km / h. They also climb well different surfaces, jump and swim.
