Terrifying house mice dominate an Atlantic island, evolving to become three times larger.

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, for tens of thousands of years, the birds on Gough Island have been living a peaceful life. There were no natural enemies on this remote small island in the South Atlantic. Nowadays, this British island, which is described as the most important seabird habitat in the world, still has 22 species of birds and is a World Heritage Site.

However, with the landing of the first whalers 150 years ago, Gough Island has already turned into a stage for one of the most horrific scenes in nature. Mice that sneaked onto the whaling ships deserted the ship and escaped to the island. Since then, on this approximately 25-square-mile (about 65.5 square kilometers) small island, the number of mice has increased to 700,000 or more.
