Mus musculus interstellaris
Temporal Range:
Temporal Range:
Evolved: Around 300 years henceforth
Extinct: By 100,000 Yh.
Geographical Range:
Geographical Range:
Location: Is moving South into more cover most quickly, but is also pushing North, East and West more slowly from it's seeding point on South West Catland.
Viable Habitat: Wide range of habitats from temperate forest to grassland to arid scrubland to jungle shrubland.
Distribution of domestic mice over the first few hundred years from the date of seeding, before significant climate change occurred and they began speciating.
Size: 8 - 12cm (body length), 16 - 24cm (tail + body length)
Weight: 35 - 45 grams
Dietary Needs: In particular eats a lot of seeds, grains and fruits. Can eat a wide range of foods much like it's Earth-dwelling ancestor including meat in small quantities.
Life Cycle: Mice are placental mammals. The females have a very short estrous cycle of only about a week, and the presence of such a cycle depends on the presence of males. Males have a chirping ultrasonic call they use when searching for or tracking a potential mate. Their life cycle only takes around two months to complete, sometimes less, and females can produce multiple litters a year each averaging seven pups. Pups are helpess, blind and naked. Their mothers build a warm insulated nest before giving birth to them and feed them on milk for around three weeks.
Other: They were bred on an interstellar ship, hence the name of the subspecies. They contain genes from wild Western European mice, laboratory mice and "fancy" pet mice. This makes them a hybrid subspecies.
Their incisors combined with their small size allow them to gnaw through barriers and access food and shelter unreachable to other animals on the planet.
