Could i please get a small mammal cursed bio fact if u have one

the grasshopper mouse of the southwestern United States looks like a standard house mouse but is almost entirely carnivorous and is known to kill and consume everything from less homicidal mice to goddamn rattlesnakes, which they kill by jumping onto the snake’s back and gnawing through its spine

How could U fail to mention that this fool marks territory by howling? Yunno. Like a wolf

[fumblebeefae]

Here’s a clip of one of the “howls” these mice make. They actually have six distinct vocalisation types and their wide range of calls can allow them to distinguish species, sex, even individuals.

Another fun fact about them is because they often prey on highly venomous arthropods like scorpions, they’ve actually evolved to cope with the toxins they inject by using sensory neurons that prevent pain signals.
