The Harvard Crimson continues its relationship with Cambridge's Inspectional Services. After exploring the sanitation of local Harvard Square restaurants, our intrepid reporters turn their eyes toward rodent problems in the Houses. The article contains a ridiculous quote:
A mouse's body is all muscle except for one tiny bone in its head, says Packer, who has been inspecting in Cambridge for the last 12 years.
�This is how big of a space they need,� he says holding up a ball-point pen horizontally and pointing at the tiny circle top of the cap.
While I am not sure how small of a hole a mouse needs to enter a building, I am pretty sure that mice have full skeletons.

Are you sure that is not a rat? It doesn't look like a mouse to me.
Based on what I have read on Cambridge's Rodent Control Rat-Mouse FAQ and from images I found online, I would agree that it is not a field mouse. It does looks suspiciously like a rat, but I think it is possible that it might be a common mouse.
