How could an animal have survived in a crate since 1834?


I know it's fictional, but even fictional animals usually obey the laws of nature to some extent.

It was Chuck Norris.

It's not a normal animal and something supernatural. The ending clearly suggests it cannot die.

it was a cryptid that lives a very long time and does not have to eat very often. Humans can live 100 years and go 30 days without eating, and 3 days without drinking. To a mouse that would be amazing.

Not fictional animals that exist in SUPERnatural horror stories. It was clearly meant to be an immortal being.

I guess you didn't realize that the University scientists had also left the crate under the stairs for over a hundred years, and forgotten about it.

It's called hyper-reality. A bit like how there's a monster on the wing of the plane in that Twilight Zone episode.
