Do mice go around in pairs?

Mice don't typically go around in pairs, at least not in the romantic sense. They are social animals and live in groups called colonies, often consisting of a dominant male, several females, and their young.

Here's why:

* Reproduction: Mice are prolific breeders, and females can have multiple litters per year.

* Protection: Living in groups provides safety from predators and allows for better access to resources.

* Social Hierarchy: Within a colony, there's often a hierarchy with a dominant male, who mates with the females.

So, while mice might sometimes be seen together, it's not necessarily a "pair" as we might think of a romantic couple. They are simply part of a larger social unit.
