This animal has a body length (including the head) of between 4 and 26 cm (1.6 to 10 in.), with an additional 7 – 30 cm (2.75 to 12 in.) of tail, which is always longer than the full body.

The introduction of cattle to the Darling Downs has greatly changed the ecology of the ...
Extant native Australian terrestrial placentals (such as hopping mice) are relatively recent immigrants, arriving via island hopping from Southeast Asia. [97] Genetic analysis suggests a divergence date between the marsupials and the placentals at 99] The ancestral number of chromosomes has been estimated to be 2n = 14.
