When they’re in our homes and eating our food, most consider field mice to be repulsive pests. But out in their native fields and woodlands, tiny mice are about as cute as it gets.
Because of their size (and perhaps also due to jealousy of their adorable looks), there are a lot of things out to get the cute mice, including the internet’s favorite mouse-slaying terror, the common house cat. But because of their adaptability and speed, they are still one of the most wide-spread and successful mammal species on Earth – these adorable animals can be found in almost any environment and on almost every continent. And this large population is exactly what makes them an easy target for great animal photography shots.
Harvest mice certainly are cute and harmless in their natural environments, but they can be devastating pests when introduced to new environments. In parts of New Zealand and Australia, the absence of natural predators allows them to breed unchecked and devastate local crops and bird populations. Many birds were able to nest safely in the South Pacific islands until mice were introduced there by European explorers.
Pest or a tiny fluff ball – it’s for you to decide after looking at the adorably cute photos below!

I absolutely love all of these but the daisy one is my favorite because I love daisies. I would like to get that print.
Anne Geddes on a nature hike..... absolutely LOVE these. Fantastic work!
No worries about correcting. We, well I should say I, love to know about new things. Thanks and Cheers from Colorado.

What do I think? What do you think the mouse thinks? Get me out of here and where's the food?
Cute as all heck But when you catch the same mouse and release it over 12 times. I think you must have a soft spot for the little critters
I LOVE it I LOVE it! Their expressions are innocent! Their life has a simple theme of surviving and finding food. No Hollywood acting!
Beautiful pictures...makes you want to have a mouse to hold and cuddle....then I think of the damage they do...Stay out of my house mouse!
Perfect! There is only one think wrong with these photos... that they are not mine :)
Very Cute in their 'Natural Environment', but otherwise destructive little critters. Very good photos.
DARLINGS! Beautiful photos. I could never, ever hurt one of these wee creatures! (or any others - I'm a vegetarian & vegan-to-be!).
Even cuter than kitties! what it must take to be in just the right place at exactly the right moment to get shots like these! Amazing
OMG these are so sososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososo Cute
They're great but for the last month my Fatty Lumpkin, also extremely cute, has raised their body count...three a day mostly. aaaah
Cute, cute, cute! Especially the ones with flowers or where they seem to be really blissfully enjoying themselves!
Marvelous photography. I have always thought mice, and most rodents, to be the cutest creatures. Thank you for sharing this.
Adorable! My cats would love a chance to meet them...ha, ha. Some of the shots are really great.
OMG These are all so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so cute!
I think these are the cutest pictures I have seen in a while!! I loved it! :)
Love the details in all the pictures. My favorite is the one with the two holding their tails. So precious
This is sooo totally Awww-mazinggg!! :D ... Makes me reconsider placing ratpoisons and rat traps in the storehouse.. :)
There have been some derogatory comments. I love mice, used to raise them, these pics show their beauty. Great PR for oft hated mice!
Stunning set of photos, really beautiful and the mice look like they are laughing in some of the shots.
I am absolutely and totally enthralled and in love with the beautiful creatures, the mice! haha
I love the one in the tennis ball, it makes me happy like :) Thanks for reading my comment everyone. Love - Bethany <3
cute and fuzzy mice! :) But they nibbled a tennis ball. Were these pictures made in nature or in the photo studio?
like no dog ever loses a tennisball in the fields.....
