WALTZING MOUSE (or JAPANESE WALTZING MOUSE)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 302 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WALTZING MOUSE (or JAPANESE WALTZING MOUSE) , a pied race of the
house
  mouse (Mus musculus), or one of its
allies
 ,
originally bred in
China
 , and known in Japan as the Nankin mouse. The habit of these mice of spinning round and round after their tails is highly developed, and continually exercised. In Japan, where there were originally two breeds, a grey and a
white
 , these mice are kept in cages on
account
  of their dancing propensities. The dancing was at one time supposed to be due to a disease of the labyrinth of the ear; but Dr K. Kishi, in a
paper
  in the Zeitschrift fur wissenschaftliche Zoologie (vol. xxi. pt. 3), concludes that it is the effect of confinement for untold centuries in small cages.
