How long is a mouse body?

The body length of a typical house mouse (Mus musculus) ranges from about 2.5 to 4 inches (6 to 10 centimeters), excluding the tail. The tail itself can be approximately the same length as the body, often making the total length when including the tail around 7 to 10 inches (18 to 25 centimeters). However, sizes can vary slightly among different species of mice.
