Pacific jumping mouse
The Pacific jumping mouse (''Zapus trinotatus'') is a species of rodent in the family Dipodidae. It is found in Canada and the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate grassland and swamps.
==Description==
Pacific jumping mice can be distinguished from other rodents that belong to the same genus by their larger size. They have a distinct color separation between the back and underside.
See reference〔Gannon, L. W., (1988). Zapus trinotatus. Mammalian Species. Retrieved from ().〕 for further detailed anatomical information.
These rodents prefer to live in moist habitats, and are frequently found in riparian or meadow areas near rivulets. They rely on grass seeds as their main diet, thus they prefer inhabiting areas with thick vegetation, which provide refuge from many predators as well as food resources. Besides eating grass, tthey feed also on fungi and insects. They spend most of the autumn season fattening up in preparation for their winter hibernation time, which is spent in small burrows in the ground. When their hibernating period of up to 8 months is over, they mate and produce a litter of four or more young. Pacific jumping mice have many predators, including snakes, coyotes, owls, and foxes.〔Bowers, N., Bowers, R., & Kaufmann, K. (2004). Mammals of North America. New York, N.Y: Houghton Mifflin.〕
