A To Z Blogging Challenge: J Is For Jerboa
There are several types of Jerboa's. This is an Egyptian Jerboa. If you've never seen these little creatures you are in for a treat.
When I first saw this video I thought it was fake. I thought, how in the world did I not know about this tiny cute animal? He just doesn't look real, does he? This is the Pygmy Jerboa, the smallest rodent in the world. Of course when I found out about this tiny cutie I had to tell others about this little animal so I wrote an article that you can find here.
There's also the Long Eared Jerboa. Their long ears are so cute. In this video he eats a live meal worm, so if that bothers you, don't watch the video.
I don't know anyone who has a Jerboa as a pet, but I think they are pretty cute and if I had a home big enough with enough room for them to run around, I would probably adopt one. They are pretty cute.

The Egyptian Jerboa reminds me of a North American Kangaroo Rat. Cute little critters.

That is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I had heard of these; we call them Kangaroo Rats. I'd never seen the long-eared one though. Wow, that's cute. I'm having a squeeeeeee moment! :)
