Zapus hudsonius (Meadow Jumping Mouse): Narrative Meadow jumping mice may live in various habitats that have some herbacious cover, but moist grassland is preferred and heavily wooded areas are avoided. Grassy fields and thick vegetated areas bordering streams, ponds, or marshes generally support greater numbers. It is possible that habitats must have high humidity.

Zapodidae: Jumping Mice Jumping mice are primarily nocturnal but occasionally are seen by day. They are evidently more nomadic than most small rodents, and during the summer they may wander over nearly 1 km in search of moist habitat. [eng]
