Illustration Friday "Dance"



A dancing mouse...

In reality "dancing mice" do exist(!), unfortunately their reality is somewhat less fun than my mouse seems to be having. Dancing mice have a hereditary defect in the brain that affects their sense of balance. This causes them to reel from side to side, or run around in circles, hence their other names "reeler mice" or "spinning mice". A similar human condition is called Huntington's Disease.
