Agreed, they're absolutely adorable. I've also lived in a house with a mouse infestation and the smell of their poop really sucks to live with... but the mice themselves? Supreme cuties.

Wont predators find these mice more easily? If it peeps—it sleeps. :/

No no, Moose are big, it is North American House Hippos that are small.

Too bad their shits carry several nasty diseases.

Tiny squeaks or tiny moans?

I am so glad the clam was released!

I also want chowder.

Bad human!

The headline had me thinking there were baby mice squeaking and your comment set me straight 😂

If the mice are going extinct, then the rest of us species are fucked.

> It is interesting that the proposition of creating the option for alternatives is often pushed back against by people in the communities; they simply don't want to pay for things they won't personally utilize, even if many people will utilize it, it'll improve the area, and over time it'll lead to densification around the routes over the coming decades. They don't want to deal with driving around bike lanes, watching out for bikers, less parking, or slower speed limits.

What's really interesting -- and I'm not faulting you for it, by the way, since it's a super common misconception -- is that this entire argument is backwards!

The real issue isn't that we're trying to spend extra money on alternatives; it's that we're trying to stop spending orders of magnitude more money massively subsidizing driving cars. In reality, those people are on the other side of the selfish spending argument because they're the ones forcing the rest of society to spend money benefiting them.

Remember, bikes don't need special lanes except to make them safe from encroachment by cars.

Driving places isn't inherently better; it only became so because we spent the last century demolishing our perfectly-good downtowns to build parking lots, spending trillions of dollars on highway projects, rewriting zoning codes to force private property owners to provide plentiful "free" parking at their expense, and otherwise bending over backwards to accommodate them.

In contrast, if property owners were free to build traditional development (i.e., if we abolished the government regulation restricting them from doing so) people would freely choose to walk and bike places instead of driving because those would be the quicker/easier/better option.

Woohoo! Go mice!!!!

Every invasive species is native to somewhere so they can't all be invasive species

The study was run by barn cats

Yesss, it's always so great to hear some positive news about endangered species! 🙌🏼 Props to everyone involved in this program for making such a big impact in such a short amount of time. It's so sad that the Pookila mouse is in such a dire situation, but projects like this give me hope that we can do something about it.

Kinda makes you wonder if that's why it's endangered.

Scientists must be overwhelmed at the news. Now they have even more animals to conduct tests on.

Nope. They’re all food for something larger and they are invasive no matter what species.
