At this speed, a mouse can cover a distance of about 19 inches (48 centimeters) in a second. This may not seem very fast to us, but when you consider the mouse's small size, it's quite impressive.
To put it in perspective, a house mouse is about 3 to 4 inches (7 to 10 centimeters) long, so it can travel a distance equal to its entire body length in just a fraction of a second.
When you combine this speed with their small size and erratic movements, it's no wonder that mice can sometimes appear like a blur when you see them scurrying around.
