House Mouse Mus musculus

The House Mouse is a common grey-brown, long-tailed mouse seen usually in buildings (houses, outbuildings, commercial and residential buildings) throughout Eurasia.

The House Mouse has rounded, sticking-up ears (think Mickey Mouse), a pointed cone face, bulging eyes and a tail as long as its head + body.

Colour can vary from light to dark grey or brown. It is also the wild ancestor of pet/laboratory white and piebald mice.
