Dipodoidea
Dipodidae Sminthidae Zapodidae Dipodoidea is a superfamily of rodents, also known as dipodoids, found across the Northern Hemisphere.They are all capable of saltation (jumping while in a bipedal stance), a feature that is most highly evolved in the desert-dwelling jerboas.[3] Dipodoids are small to medium-sized rodents, ranging from 4 to 26 cm (1.6 to 10.2 in) in body length, excluding the tail.In contrast, while jumping mice sometimes co-opt the burrows of other species, they do not dig their own, and generally nest in thick vegetation.Most species hibernate for at least half the year, surviving on fat that they build up in the weeks prior to going to sleep.
