How Do You Spot the Jailbait Mouse?

My morning news scan turns up this item: Signs of aging halted in the lab.
The onset of wrinkles, muscle wasting and cataracts has been delayed and even eliminated in mice, say researchers in the US.
I love these Ponce de Leon stories as much as anyone, but since when do mice suffer from wrinkles?
I just looked through a bunch of random mouse photos, but I sure couldn't distinguish the youthful mice from the aged ones by their dewy complexions.
I found a few photos of sad-looking mice with ratty fur, so to speak, but basically, mice age pretty gracefully, unless they're the obesity-gene experiment subjects. Poor things.
I'll return now to looking through the rest of the headlines with my customary skepticism.

Claire, your comment is mousist - or would that be miceist?- never mind. Sure, to you all mice look the same. You need to raise your consciousness by walking around Paris dressed in a full body mouse suit. And Minny Mouse ears don't count because she's a species traitor accepting The Man's privileges and selling out her own kind.
Regarding the actual content of the post: faster please; middle age is approaching.

I sure don’t want to get old, although it may already be too late. Nobody above say 25 really want to get older, but, if we don’t we are going to exacerbate an already stressed Social Security problem. Did you ever see Logan’s Run.

I think I dated her. She dropped me, said she could do better.

To me, all mice taste the same. Or as they say in France: bon appetit.
