That was not actually an instinct I'd expect mice to have at all.

I know! I guess they evolved from some creature that had it.

The article was fascinating -- but your commentary made my day. :-)

Next, the mice will accidentally be irradiated during a botched nuclear experiment. They'll escape, grow to enormous size, and start hunting us. The Japanese army will be unable to stop them, and soon the mutant giant killer mice will start breathing fire and stomping on buildings...
