What is the Life cycle of the spinifex hopping mouse?
Thevspinifex hopping mouse does not need to drink water because it gets all of its water from the seeds, vegetation and arthropods that it eats. Both the male and female have small throat pouches for gathering food. Because of its hot environment, it is nocturnal, staying sheltered in burrows by day and foraging for food at night. Groups of spinifex hopping mice stay together in networks of burrows which have more than one entrance. The entrances are vertical, to deter predators. It has no set breeding season, but instead breeds whenever conditions are favourable.
