Animals: are multicellular organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.
Conspecific aggression is a common problem amongst laboratory housed male mice. While C57BL/6 are not the most aggressive strain we house, they are exceedingly common, and dealing with...
