Species group · Mammals
WAnimals has 3 species of jerboa, spread across 2 families (Dipodidae, Muridae).
Ranges calculated from the profiles that record the figure, not from all 3.
Each one has its own full profile. This group does not replace them: it brings them together.
No species documented in this group is genuinely at risk according to the IUCN, with the data available today.
Recorded in 39 countries. The ones with the most species in the group:
It has the largest ears in proportion to the body of any mammal: they are about a third of its body length.
From
It was not filmed alive in the wild until 2007, on a Zoological Society of London expedition to the Gobi Desert.
From
It bounds on its long hind legs much like a small kangaroo, reaching considerable speed to escape night predators.
From
It is so well adapted to dryness that it produces very little urine and almost dry droppings, which makes its cages smell far less than those of hamsters or mice.
From
It marks its territory by rubbing its belly against objects: it has a sebaceous gland there, larger in males, that leaves a scent mark.
