Mice Plague in Australia Continues to Wreak Havoc Due to Exploding Population of Rodents

Julie Leven and her husband Des brought their camper up to visit their son in northern New South Wales, Australia, just before Christmas last year. They noticed masses of white dots moving over the black road surface as they drove back to their house in Gilgandra, some 430 kilometers northwest of Sydney, at night. They immediately discovered the dots were mice.

Mice had infested their house in such large quantities that it had become uninhabitable.

Mice Plague Eastern Australia in Record Numbers

MELANIE MOERIS Just before Christmas last year, Julie Leven and her husband Des took their camper up to visit their son in northern New South Wales, Australia. Driving back at night to their home in Gilgandra, around 430 kilometers northwest of Sydney, they saw masses of white spots moving across the dark road surface. The spots, they soon realized, were mice. Once they reached their house, the Levens saw a scene of rodent devastation. Mice had invaded their home in such numbers that it was unlivable. The creatures had gnawed their way into the pantry and ruined all the food they could get into. Their droppings and pungent urine were spread from one end of the dwelling to the other, across soft furnishings and bedding. The rodents had even eaten the insulation around the engine wiring in two tractors and ruined their harvested hay bales.

Species of extinct mouse rediscovered after 150 years in Australia

A mouse, whose species was believed to have been extinct more than 150 years ago, has been rediscovered in Australia. Researchers further compared the DNA samples from eight extinct native rodents and 42 of their living relatives, to conclude that the ‘extinct’ was indistinguishable from the Shark Bay mouse, which is found on several small islands off the coast of Western Australia, reports The Guardian. The study, that was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America or PNAS, has helped scientists understand better what must have led to the decline of native species since the arrival of Europeans in Australia.
