Mice with brown fur will be more likely to survive and reproduce, as they are less likely to be caught by foxes. Over time, brown fur may become more predominant in the population as white fur mice are selectively targeted by predators. This could result in a shift towards a higher percentage of mice with brown fur in the population.
