A little perspective
Mouse vs Shuttlecock: length comparison
The body length of a mouse is about 1.06 times the overall length of a shuttlecock.
A shuttlecock is a feathered projectile used in badminton, designed to be struck by rackets.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions. Horizontal rulers compare the selected spans; vertical brackets also identify height on the artwork.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 9 cm
We compare the body length of a mouse. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
