Kangaroo mice are quite different to kangaroos, kangaroo rats and rat-kangaroos. There are two species of kangaroo mice in North America, but several more species in Australia. They are quite unrelated to kangaroos or rat-kangaroos, but they are related to the North America kangaroo rats. Kangaroo mice in Australia are more commonly known as native hopping mice.

There are several species of hopping mice, and they tend to inhabit sandy deserts, rather than grasslands.
