About
The house mouse is a tiny rodent small enough to fit inside a person's palm, weighing under an ounce.
House mice are significantly smaller than common city rats, often weighing less than a tenth of a brown rat. Adult males and females are very similar in size, though individual weight fluctuates depending on food access. Despite their body length, their flexible skeletons allow them to slip through wall openings as narrow as a pencil.
From Wikipedia
The house mouse is a small mammal of the rodent family Muridae, characteristically having a pointed snout, large rounded ears, and a long and almost hairless tail. It is one of the most abundant species of the genus Mus.
