mice

AnonyMouse is an anonymous group of Swedish artists who are known for their street installations. Their street installations being adorable and really detailed mouse houses/establishments, in unexpected locations. 

They have created some really beautiful and whimsical work. Most recently, a tiny mouse-sized record shop filled with mouse-related vinyl. You can see the creativity that's gone into creating such a piece, like a vinyl titled, "Amy Winemouse / Back to Brie."

Genius. 

You can keep up with their beautiful and exciting work on Instagram! 

Pure magic. 

We can't think of a word better to describe this whimsical and lovely miniature setting than to call it magic. We've recently seen a guinea pig by the name of Maise who had a miniature Hobbit Hole from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. And now, there's another and very elaborate Hobbiton for a family of mice in Yorkshire, England.

Meet Simon Dell! You may recall his work from another feature we did on him about the enchanting home he created for the mice in his garden. Now, the talented wildlife photographer takes it a step further during his time in isolation and created a miniature village based on the scenery from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

What was once a saving grace to halt the scourge of smallpox 2 centuries ago, has now struck again, this time, with cancer. CF33, or Chimeric Orthopoxvirus. US Cancer wunderkind Professor Yuman Fong made the initial discovery, while the Australian company Imugene licensed the innovation and are pushing for human trials starting next year.

A solid way to root out the rodent problem that clearly had infested the management team. This barista filmed mice in the cafe she used to work at, and managed to get the store shut down by the Department of Health. 

Apparently, there is one way to prevent mice from backing down in the face of a dangerous cat. According to new research presented at this year's Society for Experimental Biology meeting in Prague, if a baby mouse is exposed to the L-Felinine compound found in cat urine, they are less likely to run from cats when they're older.

This guys sister is a bit squeamish when it comes to dead animals (as we can personally agree with), especially mice. Read the silly interaction below! 

Italian Photographer, Rachele Totaro, made a unique session of photos - she captured the facial expressions of test animals the first time ever outside a cage, open air. Those Ex lab rats were saved by La Collina dei Conigli, an Italian charity based near Milan. Pricelss! 

If you happen to be walking through the Swedish city of Malmö, make sure to pay attention to the little details. If you take a look down you may notice something amazing inside a basement window in the neighborhood of Möllevången. Tiny businesses — a bakery and a "cheese and cracker" shop — just the right size for mice. The 70×30 cm (about 25×12 inch) store has wide menus that mice can choose their meals from. One of them is selling nuts and the other offers cheese. In addition to shop and restaurant, they have also built "The Jerry Can" gas station and a cool playground.  Besides the well-crafted interiors, there are posters about upcoming mice concerts and other events. The amount of detail that went into creating this street art installation is huge! The artists behind this fairytale world are Anonymouse who are still unknown but you can check their Instagram account for more information.

Kudos to Anonymouse for this cute idea!
