Mouse have human feet and hands

Literally. Only that the feet looks like walking hands.

Its either way interesting. Usually 4 legged animals have paws that are more or less stuck together, like glued and not loose to say the least. This type of species have hands like paws and pads.

Wondering what you think?

Don't forget raccoons;

I think this is due to what they eat. They need to hold their food, so they evolved opposable thumbs and fingers. However, I don't think mice use tools like humans do. Raccoons occasionally use sticks or rocks, but I don't think mice do.

Also;

Slightly off topic. Hoatzins (locally known as stinkbirds), have claws on their wings when newborn. The claws fall off when the birds are fully mature. The claws help the babies climb, especially out of rivers, as the nests are built over them. When danger comes, the babies drop -- then climb back up!

Racoons are gifted. Have you ever seen a racoon trying to swipe the floor with a broom. Its pretty adorable. They like to wash their hands before they eat(or food, i didn't remember quite). Which might explain why they are called "Washing bear" in my language : 3

Yeah, raccoons are very, very smart. Let's make sure they don't take control of the world, lol. Apparently they're cleaner than most humans. I know a lot of people who don't wash their hands before eating.

Yeah. I think racoons are pretty cool animals. They look like thieves too big_smile

They steal my trash in the summer. Sort of like this pic, but they usually tear the bags.
Also, I just realized this, but they look a lot like dogs when running.

I usually see them crouching, so this is pretty cool.
Also, mice can use musical instruments. So they're smarter than we though. wink Yes I know they aren't really playing.

I don't know why, but that's somewhat horrifying.
