House Mouse

Mus musculus

Description:

A mouse species originally found in Asia but with the advent of agriculture and rapid transportation has been brought by people to around the world. This species often proves to be a nuisance when introduced, especially on isolated islands, where they may compete heavily with native land animals.

Notes:

Found on sidewalk during neighborhood walk and was very lethargic. Perhaps sick? In the third picture you can see a patch of what seems to be urine, which the mouse was sitting on before it moved a bit.

These are cute. Hope this little guy feels better. May be some rodenticide?
