Sept 20th, 2019 : Grasshopper Mouse

♫ She's a Killer Mouse
Gunpowder powerhouse,
♫ Dynamite like the ex-spouse
Guaranteed to blow your mind
♫ Anytime
But their so cute.



The three types of Grasshopper Mice range from the Canadian plains to Mexico, are immune to most venoms, hunt like a cat, and
howl at the Moon like a wolf. Actually they howl when there’s no Moon too, staking out the territory around their kill so they can
eat in peace. Ha, good luck with that, you just told your enemies where you are.



The Grasshopper Mouse may be a primary or secondary consumer. When the mouse eats a plant it’s a primary, and the snake that
eats the mouse is secondary, making the bird that eats the snake tertiary. If the an insect eats a plant and the mouse eats the
insect it’s a secondary and the snake tertiary.
Mice, rodents in general, are omnivores eating seeds, grains, veggies, meat, insects, most anything they can get.
The Grasshopper mouse prefers to be a carnivore. Kill! Kill! They ain’t scairt of no Scorpions... yum yum.

Any carnivorous rodent that is 5" long without the tail I call a rat.
My old (see the thread elsewhere) ears can't hear the howl.

I have to crank up my hearing aid but it's hard because that guy keeps yapping.
