A tiny California mouse named after “Star Trek" actor Patrick Stewart achieved the Guinness World record for longevity at 9 years and 200 some days.
The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance announced Wednesday that a Pacific pocket mouse named Pat — born July 14, 2013, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park under a conservation breeding program — received Guinness approval as the oldest living mouse in human care.
The endangered species, which weighs as much as three pennies and is the smallest mouse in North America, was presumed extinct for two decades because of human encroachment and habitat destruction, the alliance said.
