老鼠, 小鼠
a small animal that lives in fields or houses, and often has fur, a long furless thin tail, and a pointed nose
The mouse is a small, typically nocturnal rodent known for its small size, pointed snout, and large, rounded ears. Mice have a compact body with a thin tail, and they are known for their quick movements and ability to squeeze into tight spaces. They have a keen sense of smell, hearing, and touch, which help them navigate their environment and locate food. Mice are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of foods, including seeds, fruits, insects, and small animals. They are known for their prolific breeding, with females capable of producing multiple litters in a year. Mice are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and human-made environments, and they can be both beneficial and harmful to humans. While some species of mice are considered pests due to their ability to damage crops, structures, and food supplies, others are used in scientific research, kept as pets, or serve as an important part of the ecosystem as prey for predators.
