No one will care much about this blog entry other than fellow mammalogists or animal behaviorists I am guessing. We had a sighting of a Spinifex Hopping Mouse after the sunset viewing of Uluru in outback Australia (which was fabulous - the sunset view, I mean, as well as the mice). These rodents have beautiful big eyes and extremely long tails with a small white tip on the end, and are incredible survivors in desert ecology. They are extremely fast, either running or hopping.
