Meet the meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius)! During surveys conducted this summer, conservation biologists captured several of this species in wet prairies and along stream edges. Jumping mice are widespread across most of North America and recognized by their long tail and large hind feet, which help them jump short distances. Not only can they jump -- they're great swimmers, too! In the summer, they eat fruit, insects, and seeds. From October to April, these mice hibernate. | Wisconsin Dep

A look back at the Preble’s meadow jumping mouse. A Front Range species pushed into decline by habitat loss and fragmentation. Over the years, Rocky Mountain Wild has worked to uphold Endangered Species Act protections, including overturning a 2008 decision to split protections by state lines and filing a 2017 petition to keep science at the center. | Rocky Mountain Wild

Festive fact: While most species of mice don’t hibernate, the meadow jumping mouse is one of the smallest true hibernators in North America. Hibernation begins around late September and lasts until mid April. 🐭🛌🎄 #naturalhabitatshorts #naturalhabitok #naturalhabitat | natural88
