Entrez Taxonomy
Mus musculus is the common house mouse. This mouse is believed to be
the second most populous mammalian species on Earth, after Homo
sapiens. House mice almost always live in close proximity of humans.
Laboratory mice are strains of house mice that form important model
organisms in biology and medicine; they are the most commonly used
laboratory mammal.
As primarily nocturnal animals, house mice have little or no color
vision. They have a sharp sense of hearing and can perceive
ultrasound, possibly up to 100kHz. They communicate both in the
human audible range with squeaks (for long-distance warnings), and
in the ultrasound range (for short-distance communication).
