Mouse On The Cake
While
living with my aunt and uncle and their SIX girls, we
all had tasks. My Sunday evening task was to make
a cake for everybody! No big deal, my cousin and I
make the cake, ice it all up, and go into the other room
and tell everybody it is was ready.
When I came back into the kitchen, what is on the TOP of the cake leaving little surprises as well as foot prints.. a MOUSE.
Mice
A
mouse (plural mice) is a rodent that belongs to one of
numerous species of small mammals. The best known mouse
species is the common house mouse (Mus musculus). It is
found in nearly all countries and, like the laboratory
mouse, serves as an important model organism in biology,
and is also a popular pet. The American white-footed
mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and the deer mouse
(Peromyscus maniculatus) also sometimes live in houses.
These species of mice live commensally with humans.
Although they may live up to two years in the lab, the
average mouse in the wild lives only about 5 months,
primarily due to heavy predation. Cats, wild dogs,
foxes, birds of prey, snakes and even certain kinds of
insects have been known to prey heavily upon mice.
Nevertheless, due to its remarkable adaptability to
almost any environment, and its ability to live
commensally with humans, the mouse is regarded to be the
third most successful mammalian species living on Earth
today, after humans and the rat.
Mice can be harmful pests, damaging and eating crops and
spreading diseases through their parasites and feces. In
the Western United States, breathing dust that has come
in contact with mouse feces has been linked to the
deadly hantavirus. The original motivation for the
domestication of cats is thought to have been for their
predation of mice and their relatives, the rats.
