The discussion centers around the fictional white corn mouse, a small rodent about an inch and a half long with a two-inch tail, primarily found in rural areas where it feeds on corn. As industrial farming encroaches on its habitat, the mouse has adapted to urban environments, using discarded materials like socks for nesting instead of natural items. It is characterized as shy and clever, with a life span of around five years and an average of twenty offspring. The mouse's territory can extend up to five miles, and it is known for its attraction to shiny objects, leaving behind distinctive droppings as a calling card. Participants in the discussion express skepticism about the existence of the white corn mouse, noting the lack of information online and humorously attributing missing socks to this fictional creature rather than the dryer. The conversation also touches on the ambiguity of the mouse's name, questioning whether it refers to a white mouse that likes corn or a mouse that prefers white corn.

The white corn mouse, a creature about an inch and a half long with
a two inch long tail, its normal habitat is the country side, as its staple diet is corn, as this creatures front teeth grow throughout its life time, evidence
of its territory can be found by the gnawed tree roots, fence posts etc.
But as farming is becoming more industrialised the white corn mouse
is being forced to seek a living in urban areas and utilise material not
found in the wild, for instance, it normally lines its nest with discarded animal hair
or sheeps wool, but as this is not available in an urban habitat it has
substituted these with man made material ie socks," upto twenty having
been found in one nest", This mouse is shy and cunning and none AFAIK
have been caught in man made traps, It has a life span of about five years
but only produces on average twenty young, Its territory can be upto
a five mile radius from its nest, It also has a liking for small shiny things
ie scraps of tin foil, earrings or other small items of jewelry, one can usually
tell if the white corn mouse is the culprit for missing items by it calling
card, three or four half millimetre diameter droppings, "given in exchange
for the missing item,s".

Well, I've heard of the white corn snake. A search on Google for "White Corn Mouse" returned nothing.
 
And all these years I've been blaming the dryer for eating my socks, and here it's the white corn mouse stealing them all along! Now I'm going to have to go apologize to the dryer, I hope it doesn't hold a grudge. :smile:

There are entries for Corn Mouse though. Try for Green Corn Mouse perhaps
 
Is the white corn mouse
1) a white mouse that likes corn?
or
2) a mouse that likes white corn?
 
Its a white mouse that has been driven from its natural habitat and food source,
"corn", and is now living of urban waste.
