As I alluded to earlier, the Grasshopper Mouse \u00a0is indeed a cute and cuddly creature, however, underneath that fluffiness is the heart of a kung-fu legend. Many predators, including the incredibly poisonous Giant Centipede, have tried to take down this little unsuspecting mammal. Unfortunately for them they don’t realize that this mouse has the quickness of a ninja and unusually powerful bite, regardless of how tiny their mouths are.<\/p>\n

The Fate of a Predator<\/h2>\n

When a predator walks onto the Grasshopper Mouse territory, the tiny rodent will let out a high pitched howl before commencing battle. Already, the little mouse is trying to instil fear into their opponent with their patented battle cry. Once the fight begins, the mouse uses their speed and agility to avoid the predators advances and sneak for quick biting attacks of their own. Incredibly, this mouse appears to also be a gymnast at heart as they will do back flips, cartwheels and variety of other tricky manoeuvres to avoid becoming dinner.<\/p>\n

You know what, I think a video is in order. You definitely need to see the action for yourself, so take a minute and enjoy the short clip below.\\
