Ratón Casero
Entre los mamíferos más ampliamente distribuidos y numerosos de la Tierra, los ratones domésticos se originaron en el sur de Asia y han acompañado a la civilización humana por todos los continentes excepto la Antártida. Con un peso de apenas 15–25 g, son omnívoros altamente adaptables capaces de sobrevivir con mínima comida y agua. Como el animal de laboratorio más comúnmente utilizado en el mundo, el ratón doméstico (Mus musculus) ha contribuido a prácticamente todas las ramas de la investigación biomédica. Causan daños agrícolas significativos a nivel mundial.
