Which statement about the House Mouse is true?

• A. Weight 1.5-2 oz
• B. Length 9-12inch
• C. Weight 0.5-1 oz
• D. Teats 8

Answer: (C)

House mice are small, light-bodied rodents. In standard references, adult house mice typically weigh about 0.5 to 1 ounce. That makes the statement about weight the true one. The other measurements don’t fit the typical size: 1.5–2 ounces would be noticeably heavier than a normal adult mouse, and a total length of 9–12 inches would be unusually long for a house mouse. Additionally, female house mice usually have six pairs of teats (twelve nipples), not eight.
