Mouse
Mouse: is a small rodent that characteristically has a pointed snout, small round ears and a scaly tail the length of its body. The most well-known species is known as the common house mouse. Mice are also common experimental animals in laboratory research of biology and psychology fields because they are mammals and also because they share a degree of homology with humans.
