The appearance of large mice in the courtyards of Moscow houses may be caused by cold weather. This opinion was expressed by biologist Pavel Glazkov. news.ru.
The reason for the controversy was the spread on the Internet videoPhoto showing several large mice in the courtyard of house number 4 on Kuntsevskaya Street in Moscow.
Gray rats, or pasyuki, can sometimes reach large sizes, but “they will not grow larger than their biological species,” biologist Glazkov said.
The expert noted that poisons and traps are quite effective against them, but this is not enough and it is unrealistic to completely get rid of mice due to their relatively high intelligence. To combat them, among other things, “it is necessary to limit access to food waste, that is, to cut off the food supply.”
According to Glazkov, gray mice once came to Russia from China, replacing black mice, which were also brought by ships from Europe.
