Jerboas are the bouncy rodents of the desert!
Jerboas can jump up to 10 feet (3 metres) in the air!
When moving slowly, they walk on their hind legs
But they can also survive the heat of 130°F/54°C!
A Jerboa's tail can be twice as long as their body!
This means they're most active at twilight...
They typically live alone within their burrows
They can be found all across the world!
They likely communicate using "Dust Bathing"
This is allegedly done in order to protect crops...
Unexpected visitor!
A long-eared jerboa wandered in a hotel in NW China's Xinjiang
It has been released to the wild by local forestry officials
Dubbed as Disney's Mickey Mouse, its ears are almost half the length of its head
The nocturnal species mainly live in the desert and eat insects
The thick hair on their rear legs insulated them from the heat
Long tails keep the balance as they jump as high as 1 m
IUCN has enlisted it as endangered species
Jerboas are small, bipedal rodents that are capable of running and jumping
In fact, they can jump several feet in the air!
They are rarely kept as pets. But why?
Some breeders recommend a enclosure size that is at least 6 feet long.
However, they are still uncommonly owned.
They are recommended for 'advanced keepers in most cases.
So far attempts to import the rodents into the US for captivity have been unsuccessful
