I think you're completely missing the wider picture in your insistence on giving equivalency to the mouse with any modern AI, LLM or machine learning system.

The evolutionary processes behind the mouse being capable of all that are a part of the long distant past, up to the present, and their results are manifest in the physiology and cognitive abilities (such as they are) of the mouse), but this means that these abilities, conscious, instinctive and evolutionary only exist in the physical body of that mouse and nowhere else. No man-made algorithm or machine is capable of anything remotely comparable and its capacity for navigating the world is nowhere near as good. Once again, this especially applies when you consider that the mouse does all it does using absurdly tiny energy resources, far below what any LLM would need for anything similar.
