Standing House Mouse Plush – Realistic, Soft, and Cuddly Stuffed Animal

The house mouse (Mus musculus), including its adorable grey variety, is one of the most common and adaptable mammals on Earth. Native to Asia, it has spread worldwide, thanks to its ability to live alongside humans. These small rodents are easily recognized by their pointed snouts, large rounded ears, and long, nearly hairless tails.

Interestingly, house mice are incredible survivors. They can thrive in diverse environments, from urban homes to wild fields. They are omnivorous and even practice coprophagy (eating their own feces) to absorb extra nutrients! Despite their size, they are excellent jumpers and climbers and use their long tails for balance while exploring.

Grey mice, like other house mice, are highly social and territorial. Males often defend their turf vigorously, marking it with urine to establish dominance. They’re also nocturnal, preferring to scurry about and forage when it’s dark.

These mice are not just pests—they’ve played a critical role in science as model organisms. Their genetic similarity to humans has made them invaluable for medical research, including understanding diseases and testing treatments. 

Cute and clever, grey mice embody both the charm and cleverness of the house mouse species!
