5 Interesting Facts About Mice!

  • Mice are remarkably intelligent and have been shown to display empathy - in laboratory studies, mice that had previously experienced pain showed greater distress when observing other mice in pain than mice who hadn't.
  • A mouse's teeth never stop growing - they must gnaw constantly to wear them down, which is why mice chew through almost anything they encounter, from wood to electrical cables.
  • Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a pencil - their skeleton is extremely flexible and if their head fits through a gap, the rest of their body can follow.
  • They communicate using ultrasonic calls completely inaudible to humans - male mice even sing elaborate ultrasonic songs to attract females, which researchers have compared in complexity to bird song.
  • A pair of mice can theoretically produce over 500 descendants in a year - females can have up to 10 litters of 6 pups each, with offspring ready to breed themselves at just 6 weeks old.
