Mice (Mus musculus) originated in Asia but now they can be found everywhere in the world except Antarctica.

Mice tails can grow as long as their body.

They use their whiskers to sense changes in temperature and to help feel the surface they are walking along.

They have great balance and can walk along very tin pieces of rope or wire.
