Have you
ever experienced a hard time when choosing a favourite animal from thousands of
them? If yes, you might be a crazy animal lover! Dogs are truly cute while the
cats are adorable and it is the same when it comes to rabbits, kangaroos,
birds, and other kinds of animals. Thus, picking up one out of all these
creatures is a hard task. But, what if we can see all these traits in one
animal? This might be a prank for you. But, there is such a creature in this
world and it has the features of a mouse, pig, kangaroo as well as a rabbit!
Its name is
Jerboa and this animal is a mixture of several other animals in the
environment. It will steal your heart if you see it once in your life. It is
overloaded with cuteness and its lengths range from 2.8 – 3.5 inches. As per
the scientists, the tails of these tiny animals are twice the length of their
bodies. They are the animals that have the largest ears proportionate to their
body size. Jerboas are popular for their long ears and the tail. They are
nocturnal animals that hide deep inside the burrows during the daytime. They
usually feed on flying insects.
These
creatures were first noticed by a group of scientists in 2007. According to
them, jerboas can be usually seen in northwestern China and southern Mongolia.
Their legs
are quite similar to the ones of the kangaroos. Due to this feature, they can
jump up to considerable heights with the help of their forelegs. They use their
hind legs to hold things that are relatively small in size.
Jerboas
might surely be in a very progressive state in the evolution cycle since they
have several features to facilitate their lives. Please consider that this
isn’t fake and is a part out of a sci-fi story. These creatures do exist and
perhaps you too will be fortunate enough to spot them one day in your life.
