A spinifex hopping mouse is a small rodent native to Australia. It has long hind legs with long feet, which enable it to move with a hopping motion rather than running like other mice. Its habitat is arid and semi-arid regions such as sandy desert dunes and swales among hummock grass and spinifex, as well as loamy sand areas among mulga and melaleuca.


What does a hopping mouse look like?

Hopping mice are rodent-like in appearance, but they have large, slender hind legs with long feet which give them a hopping type of locomotion. Their tails are longer than their bodies and tufted along the length of the end half. EpWhile several species have dark tufted tails, the Spinifex hopping mouse has a tail which is much the same shade as their fawn/chestnut coloured fur. Hopping mice have large ears to help with heat dissipation. Their fur is pale on their abdomen and, depending on the species, may be chestnut, olive, tawny, grey, rufous, sandy brown or pale orange.
