The house mouse is best identified by the sharp notch in its upper front teeth. House mice have an adult body length (nose to base of tail) of 7.5–10 centimetres (3–4 in) and a tail length of 5–10 cm (2–4 in). The weight is typically 11–30 g (3 ⁄ 8 –1 oz).
The Vacanti mouse. The Vacanti mouse was a laboratory mouse (circa 1996) [1] that had what looked like a human ear grown on its back. The "ear" was actually an ear-shaped cartilage structure grown by seeding cow cartilage cells into biodegradable ear-shaped mold and then implanted under the skin of the mouse, with an external ear-shaped splint to maintain the desired shape.
The southern big-eared mouse has a relatively heavy build for a mouse, accentuated by its thick fur. Fully grown adults of both sexes range from 237 to 242 millimetres (9.3 to 9.5 in) in total length, including the tail, and weigh between 45 and 105 grams (1.6 and 3.7 oz).

African pygmy mice reach breeding age at about 6 to 8 weeks.
After refining the techniques and building on the work of Robert Langer at MIT, in 1997 Vacanti and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts controversially and with much media attention grew a cartilage structure resembling a human ear on the back of a nude mouse - dubbed the Earmouse, [11] Auriculosaurus [1] or Vacanti mouse - using a ...
