Native to Australia, the Mitchell's hopping mouse (Notomys mitchellii) is a nocturnal rodent that hops on its large rear legs, rather than running across the ground on all fours like other rodents.
It survives in fragmented mallee/eucalypt habitat within the semi-arid environments of South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria.
This individual was discovered after it hopped past me and my wife early one morning. After following the mouse, we managed to film as it began to dig a temporary burrow in which to shelter throughout the coming daylight hours.
It is believed that the animal may have strayed from its permanent burrow after coming under attack from a predator and was now seeking shelter until nightfall.
