The Preble's meadow jumping mouse is, in fact, a distinct creature, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study

The previous study, which was done by a biologist since hired by Norton's department, concluded there was no genetic difference between the Preble's meadow jumping mouse

When you can't get the "right" result from a biologist, call in the geologists.

"Listed by the government as a threatened species since 1998..."

Just who's President NOW??

High time to rescind ANYTHING Clinton's ever enacted, or ANYONE he's appointed.

They should have just brought in a cat. As far as a cat is concerned, all mice taste the same, it doesn't matter what color they are, if they can jump, where they can live or anything else -- a mouse is just a mouse.

Yes let's protect the mouse!

I think we should increase taxes and abolish the 2nd amendment in our quest to save this endangered creature. :)

My cat, A.K.A. "Democat" has laudably volunteered to care for all such mice. He asks that they be sent vis UPS to his address.

Do it for the good of the mice.

;-)

Good grief!

Animals go extinct all the time - a mouse is not something I get all excited about. Let it go extinct and concentrate on more serious matters like terrorists and border security.

Don't forget - about 4,000 a day!

I agree with you. Let it go extinct and save some little human beings.

...where it can abruptly switch directions in mid-flight.

How the heck does it do that?
