What Color is That Mouse?

[whatcoloristhatmouse]

Ever wondered,

WHAT COLOR IS THAT MOUSE?

I'm Angel and I try to identify the coat colors, patterns, and types of mice in posts.

This is ONLY for house mice (Mus musculus), not for other species of mouse, and not for rats! (Rats share very similar genes, colors, and patterns with mice, but they're different animals.)

I won't always be accurate! Some colors and genes are very hard to tell apart, and I can't physically handle these mice myself, as much as I wish i could... :(

I'm a retired mousekeeper of 10+ years who stopped keeping due to disability. My mouse genetics are a little rusty, but coat color is an on-and-off hyperfix.

The fact that lab mice with specific DNA changes can be copyrighted is hilarious to me. You can say "yeah, see this rat that pisses a lot and has anger issues? It's my boy C57BL/6 and you can't have him"

this is probably my favorite xylem picture of all time and there's a lot of competition. this is from when i moved a few months ago: we had to bring her with us of course, so when we stopped for food in Niagara, Omii put her in their bag instead of leaving her in the hot car!

hilariously, when we crossed the border, the customs agents listed her along with my other possessions like my car on the immigration forms. "mouse x1." very funny to me... 1 mouse, yep
