Birch mice (genus Sicista ) are small jumping rodents that resemble mice with long, tufted tails and very long hind legs, allowing for remarkable leaps. They are the only extant members of the family Sminthidae .[1] They are native to Eurasian forests and steppes . All variants possess a long tail of 65 to 110 mm (2.6 to 4.3 in ) of length and weigh about 6 to 14 g (0.21 to 0.49 oz ). Head and body length of 50 to 90 mm (2.0 to 3.5 in ) and hind foot length of 14 to 18 mm (0.55 to 0.71 in ).[2] The animal's skin color is light brown or dark-brown to brownish yellow on the upper side and paler on the underside, but generally brownish.[2] Birch mice have a vast geographic distribution in that they inhabit a wide variety of habitats, from semiarid areas to subalpine meadows.[3] Although they have a diverse region of areas, their molecular and anatomical markers have claimed that Birch mice originated from Central Asia.[4] Birch mice have a systematic of the genus of Sicista , they look at the male reproductive organs and cytogenic data.[5]
