"The southern grasshopper mouse is found in northern Mexico and the southwest of the United States, including the Sonoran Desert. It measures roughly 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) from the tip of its nose to its tail and weighs somewhere between 20-50 grams (>0.1 pounds). Oh, and it howls like a wolf.
"Despite being literally mouse-sized, these diminutive little rodents are actually top-level carnivores and voracious predators and will attack pretty much anything smaller than they are for food. While they have been recorded eating some plant material, the majority of their diet is grasshoppers, scorpions, and other arthropods. Their Latin name, Onychomys, means “clawed mouse” as their paws and even fingernails are specially adapted to hold onto slippery, struggling prey. Compared to deer mice, they even have a stronger bite force for killing their dinner."
