Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lola's vision is likely her primary sense for navigating and analyzing her environment, while Mickey's sense of smell (olfaction) is likely more important for finding food, detecting predators, and communicating with other mice. Kinesthesia, which is the sense of body position and movement, is less relevant for a pet mouse living in a cage or enclosure. Gustation, or the sense of taste, may be important for both Lola and Mickey in different ways, but is not likely to be their primary sense.
