MiceThe animal I researched was the mouse. They are

mammals. They live in the woodlands of New York state.

Physical AttributesMice have unique features. The average mouse is 2-6 in. long, which is very small. They can come in colors of gray,

brown or white fur. Also, they have a long tail.

Habitat and shelterMice live in such places like burrows (holes in the ground), houses, celars and buildings. Some like soft nests, fields and

woods. Mice live all over the world!

Diet and Predators

Mice like to eat many things. Some like to eat insects, while others eat leaves and plants. Others nibble on nutricious

nuts/seeds. Even some eat our food! Yummy yum, yum! Some predators of the mouse are snakes, cats, dogs, owls and

hawks.

Interesting factsMice have very cool facts about them. They are great swimmers. WOW! Female mice can have 10 litters each year! Also, their front teeth keep growing all their lives! SO COOL!

Conclusion
