Long-tailed hopping mouse

The long-tailed hopping mouse (''Notomys longicaudatus'') is an extinct species of rodent in the family Muridae. It was found only in Australia. It is known from a handful of specimens,〔 the last of which was collected in 1901〔〔 or possibly 1902.〔〔 It is presumed to have become extinct within a few decades from then – possibly several decades in view of a skull fragment found in an owl pellet in 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Long-tailed Hopping-mouse (''Notomys longicaudatus'') )〕 The cause of extinction is unknown,〔 but may be a variety of factors including predation and habitat alteration. Little is known of its biology〔 other than that it dug burrows in stiff clay soils.〔 It was less a pest to humans than other hopping mice,〔 although it would eat raisins.〔 The mouse was mainly gray in colour with small pink ears and big eyes with a long hairy pink tail about two inches longer than its own body. It was first described by John Gould on the basis of specimens sent to him from Australia.〔Gould, John (1844). "Exhibition and character of a number of animals, &c. transmitted from Australia by Mr. Gilbert". ''Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London'', 1844: 104.〕
==Taxonomy==

The long-tailed hopping mouse was discovered in 1843 by John Gilbert. Gilbert sent five specimens that he discovered to John Gould, who gave the species its scientific name, ''Notomys longicaudatus''. The first specimen was discovered near Alice Springs, while Gilbert was on a scientific mission to Australia.
