2. Stability: The toes provide additional points of contact and enable the mouse to distribute its weight more evenly. This increased stability helps with balance and agility during movement.
3. Traction: The textured and adhesive pads on the mouse's toes increase traction, enabling the mouse to move quietly and stealthily on various surfaces, such as wood, glass, or carpet.
4. Exploration: Mouse toes aid in exploration by allowing them to reach narrow crevices, climb trees, and access elevated areas.
5. Evasion of Predators: The ability to grip, climb, and move quietly allows mice to escape predators more effectively.
