Nicknamed: the "Mickey Mouse of the Desert", the jerboa is a small rodent that is at risk of receiving little attention. The first ever footage of the jerboa was released on Monday and it's an adorable small mouse-looking creature, except its ears are huge and it's tail is very long for its body. It has legs made for kangaroo style jumping too. The jerboa is a globally endangered species on IUCN's Red List, Conservationists have already pinpointed the domestic cat in China and Mongolia as a significant threat to the jerboa. An in country scientist is going to study the species and devise a plan to conserve it. I had to include it in the blog because I never heard of it until this week and I am in love with it aww.
