Mouse Agility


[YouTube - Link]


I've certainly heard of training dogs, cats, parrots and almost every other animal under the Sun to do tricks but trained mice is something new to me. This little video presents Brain Storm who has been trained to run through a dastardly tough looking course. However, she prevails with the awesome Olympic Fanfare Theme by John Williams playing in the background to help her speed to victory and glory! Oh, and please don't get too squeamish over the mouse or the mousey leftovers on the table. ;)

And the judges have their score cards ready: 9.0, 9.0, 9.5, 9.0, 10.0! It's a new record!

I trained a mouse once as part of a psychology class. While simple courses are done all the time, it takes a genius mouse and an obsessive-compulsive trainer to get one to do this. What amazed me, was the leisurely pace. Most mice I have seen jet though a maze on the way to a treat.

Yeah, looks like Brain Storm still had a little bit of difficulty with the loop-de-loop around the cactus. Other than that it was the obstacle overcomingest mouse I've seen to date.

renderanything- obviously my remark was sarcasm, but I think you got that. Brain Storm is a truly incredible mouse.... reminds me, I should go check the mouse traps in my garage.

From what I gathered at the site of the owner of Brain Storm I found that indeed the little champ is a female. Check out the pics on the trainers site. You'll see. ;)
