Lab Creates "Supermouse"

Just what we need - another mouse - NOT! But they say the mice were produced to study the biochemistry at play in metabolism and could aid in the understanding of human health and disease. These rodents can run at a speed of 20 meters per minute on a treadmill for up to six hours without stopping. They are metabolically similar to Lance Armstrong biking up the Pyrenees. There is a lot about these mice that will help scientists learn more about humans. My son had some white mice and rats as a school project and that's as close as I want to get to any mice at all.
