National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Northern Grasshopper Mouse

Curated by ACT

Northern Grasshopper Mice are highly predatory, and their skulls and teeth resemble those of flesh-eating carnivores such as cats and dogs. Their forelimbs, equipped with elongated fingers and claws, have developed great dexterity, so they are able to manipulate captured prey. Learn more about the Onychomys leucogaster, more commonly known as a Northern Grasshopper Mouse, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
