White-footed Mice - Peromyscus leucopus These cute mice were about 5-7 cm long (excluding tails), had black eyes, pale pink noses, rounded ears, and a white ventral surface. They had a wide, darkish dorsal stripe.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Found in a map box at a nature center. A month or so ago, someone put an old, empty bird&#039;s nest in this box. Today, we found these two mice in the box. They had gotten in through a small opening in the side of the hinged box, had rearranged the bird&#039;s nest, and made a cozy home for themselves.<br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/67192/white-footed_mice_-_peromyscus_leucopus.html" title="White-footed Mice - Peromyscus leucopus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/67192_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=OkzwmmIkBOUY%2BggyhZNgsrEoRoA%3D" width="200" height="156" alt="White-footed Mice - Peromyscus leucopus These cute mice were about 5-7 cm long (excluding tails), had black eyes, pale pink noses, rounded ears, and a white ventral surface.

    So cool! Somewhat surprising, but mice are rarely photographed. I hope you'll be able to find out the species. Posted 6 years ago

      I was definitely surprised to see them. My son opened the box and yelled to me that there were chipmunks in it. I was like, "No way!" And, yeah - no way. But, it was super cool to see the mice.

      And, as for the species - I have been told that it can't be identified to species without close inspection of the hind feet and tail markings :/       Posted 6 years ago
