Introduction
Mouse
According to their habitat, mice can be classified as "domestic mice" and "wild mice".
"Mouse" is also a colloquial term for the thousands of species of "domestic rodents" of the Murinae suborder, which mainly live in human habitats, that is, "mice" in the most particular sense.
Domestic rodents are small or medium-sized rodents. They can be divided into large or small according to their size, and the common species of large domestic rodents are the brown rat, the black rat, the yellow-breast rat which is smaller, etc.
The house mouse has arched erect ears, long whiskers, a long slender tail and short limbs; most mice can stand on their hind legs.
Mice are omnivores, they eat a variety of plant seeds, peanuts, vegetables, etc. They also eat insects and some small vertebrates.
Mice are distributed in all regions, except the Antarctic, including in towns and cities inhabited by humans, the countryside, farms, vegetable fields, as well as grass, bushes, and forests in the wild.
Mice and human culture
- Mice gnaw on planted crops, grains, vegetables and fruit, saplings, buds, and even human furniture, clothes, etc., being a greater danger to human production and life. With this in mind, in order to combat mouse infestation, humans have invented mouse-capturing devices, and even mouse treatment chemicals.
- Mice can carry a variety of pathogens that can cause typhoid fever or other infectious diseases, with a greater risk to human health.
- Mice were once one of the "four pests" that New China had to eradicate on a large scale in 1958; the other three were flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches.
- White mice are often used by humans for medical research.
- It is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.
- The English word "muscle" is derived from the Latin "musculus", since in ancient Rome, it was believed that the muscles in the human body were small like mice; the German and Greek words for "mouse" and "muscle" are the same.
