Huge were discovered on a British island in the Atlantic, carnivorous mice. Their number is estimated at approx 100 thousand. individuals – gives “The Daily Telegraph”. The mice on Gough Island are up to three times the size of regular house mice. Scientists say, that they eat not only insects and seeds, but also huge numbers of young birds – including the little albatrosses. The birds on this small island have gotten used to the lack of predators. So now – when voracious mice flooded the island – they fall victim to them. Small animals attack most often in the evenings – gives “The Daily Telegraph”. Scientists guess, that mice got to these overseas territories along with sailors. Albatrosses themselves can weigh even 10 Kilograms, and only mice 35 grams – however, a horde of mice can kill and eat a bird. – It's like a cat attacking a hippo – says Dr. Geoff Hilton. Rodents could even become a cat. The Birdlife organization is sounding the alarm: mice can exterminate the entire population of some species on the island. The poison has already started to be shed, which is to reduce the number of rodents – gives “The Daily Telegraph”.
