Mice are capable of producing six to eight babies in each litter, sometimes as many as ten. The biggest problem with mice is that they have multiple litters each year. One male and female mouse can produce up to 40 babies in one year. Multiply that by the fact that each litter will start producing babies as well within the year and you can see how quickly a couple of mice can get out of control. In just that first year those original mice can product up to 139.

How Does a Firefly Make Its Light? July 9, 2015 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Animals Sitting outside on summer evenings, you may have wondered how fireflies make those bright little flashes of light. To begin with, the firefly is not a fly, it is a beetle. And inside that beetleâs stomach are five chemicals. When oxygen enters the fireflyâs body, it stimulates a nerve reaction which causes those five chemicals to combine. This turns the light on. Several seconds later, another chemical combines with the others and turns the light off. Fireflies use their flashing lights as a mating signal. The male flies about at night, flashing his light. The female usually waits in the grass for the maleâs signal, then answers him by flashing her own light.
