The Pocket Mouse is a small rodent belonging to the family Heteromyidae. These mice are typically found in North America, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. They have large ears, long tails, and fur that helps them blend into their surroundings. Pocket mice are known for their cheek pouches, which they use to store food. Pocket mice are primarily nocturnal and feed on seeds, fruits, and insects. They create burrows in the ground to escape predators and regulate their body temperature. Their unique adaptations allow them to thrive in harsh environments where food and water can be scarce.
