PYGMY JERBOA

The jerboa (from Arabic يربوع yarbū' or Hebrew יַרְבּוֹעַ yarbōa' ) form the bulk of the membership of the family Dipodidae. Jerboas are jumping desert rodents found throughout Asia and Northern Africa.

Jerboas resemble mice with long tufted tails and very long hind legs. The small forelegs are not used for locomotion. In general, Asiatic jerboas have five toes on their hind feet MORE.
