Pacific pocket mouse ( Perognathus longimembris pacificus) - an endangered subspecies from coastal Southern California. Certain types of mice live in the desert such as the pocket mouse while others prefer grasslands.The population appears to be steady and no particular threats have been identified for this species so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as being of " least concern". The little pocket mouse is common within most of its range although it is scarce in Baja California. It forages for seeds, plant material and small invertebrates which it carries back to its burrow in its cheek pouches. It sleeps in winter and is only active between April and November with numbers building up rapidly in the spring, peaking in June and July. It is nocturnal and has a short period of activity for the first two hours after sunset, and then sporadic activity through the rest of the night. This small mouse, with a long tail, inhabits arid and semiarid habitats with grasses, sagebrush and other scrubby vegetation.
