Notomys robustus

Classification

Family
Muridae

The great hopping mouse (Notomys robustus) is an extinct species of mammal native to Australia. It is known only from skulls found in owl pellets in the Flinders Ranges. Some pellets also include bones of the introduced house mouse—indicating that it survived into historic times, possibly the second half of the 19th century.
