  1. Could it be from a cat? As a cat owner, unfortunately I see wounded and dead mice every week. Posted 13 years ago
    1. May be of a very large cat in this case: for instance a white lion... Posted 13 years ago
      1. Ahhhh...this was in a zoo? Posted 13 years ago
        1. Mondo Verde is not a typical zoo; they simulate different countries with buildings and landscaping. Next to that they have some animals. Posted 13 years ago
        2. The mouse was "a wild one" walking on the grass overthere, so not in a cage or something like that. A very brave mouse... Posted 13 years ago

The wood mouse is a common murid rodent from Europe and northwestern Africa. It is closely related to the yellow-necked mouse but differs in that it has no band of yellow fur around the neck, has slightly smaller ears, and is usually slightly smaller overall: around 90 mm in length.
