Grasshopper Mouse
Don’t be fooled by this little guy’s cute whiskers and tiny paws. The Grasshopper Mouse is “only distantly related to the common house mouse” and is a carnivorous species that feeds on insects, snakes, and scorpions. It’s also immune to the various venoms and poisons its prey uses to defend themselves. Stalking its prey like a cat, the mouse often defends its territory by “howling.”
