Best Answer

'White-footed mouse' is a common name for 'Peromyscus leucopus'.

The animal may be viewed as both environmentally friendly and unfriendly. Specifically, the mouse's diet of bark, leaves and twigs may be seen as unfriendly in the sense of defoliating a woody plant. The mouse's diet of berries, nuts and seeds may be seen as friendly in the sense of what falls on the way to the mouse's fall and winter storehouse increases the particular plant's planting range and survival potential. The mouse's diet of insects may be seen as friendly and unfriendly in the sense of eating some of the more harmless insects along with some of the more harmful such as the gypsy moth [Lymantria dispar].
