"The trap looks very solid. I came back and found the mouse bit through the steel to get out, as if it was using pliers," Robert said. According to Steve Belmain mouse expert , large rats can nibble through metal pipes. "But it's unusual for this mouse to bite off the steel wire within half an hour , " Steve said.

In the study published in 2012, international science from Britain, France and Japan explained rodents consist of two large groups. A group like squirrels and beavers chewed by using sharp-edged door teeth. The other group mainly chews with jaws like manatees and porcupines. The mouse alone can combine both ways of eating. They have just chewed and chewed, according to Live Science.

The muscles of mice evolved so they could chew more effectively than manatees and eat better than squirrels."That explains why mice (including rats and mice) survive so successfully and why they are so damaging. The omnivorous rats, not picky of food, can destroy them. All materials, " said Natasha Jefferi, a researcher at the University of Liverpool.
