When: January 30, 2022

Where: Our backyard, the Netherlands

Might this be a member of the next litter of babies? It sure looks like it

We really have no idea how many there were, or are now... We caught a few and released them in the woods nearby, but I could swear we've caught the same one a few times over now

Species: House Mouse (Huismuis)

Latin name: Mus Musculus

Originates from pretty much all over the world.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…It is one of the most abundant species of Mus.

…Although a wild animal, the House Mouse mainly lives in association with humans.

…It has been domesticated as the pet or fancy Mouse, but also as the laboratory Mouse. As the latter, they are most commonly used in genetically engineered models for scientific research.
