What is mouse with stripes?

A mouse with stripes typically refers to the common house mouse (Mus musculus) that has distinct stripes or bands of lighter and darker colored fur running along its back and sides. These mice typically have grayish-brown fur with a lighter underbelly and can measure up to 10 cm in length. The stripes serve as camouflaging, helping the mouse blend into its surroundings and avoiding detection by predators. House mice are found all over the world and are known for their adaptability, able to live in a variety of habitats, including homes, fields, and forests. They are also considered a pest species since they can transmit diseases, damage crops, and contaminate food.
