An animal with massive things
Awww. You’re cute. Look at your tiny little eyes and your sweet little nose. But why are you wearing a baseball cap?
Come on; take it off….oh god! No! What the hell are those massive flaps poking out from the side of your head?!?!…
That’s how I imagine my first meeting with a Jerboa; or a Long-eared Jerboa to give it its full name, would go. If only I’d known its full name before – I wouldn’t have been so shocked about the whole massive ear thing.
This little rodent roams around the deserts of Mongolia and China and as well as those ridiculously massive ears, this creature also boasts really long hind legs that it uses for jumping.
The ‘Mickey Mouse of the Desert’ as it has affectionately been nicknamed, is an endangered animal and it wasn’t caught on film until December 2007.
It was probably worried about the repercussions of exposing those huge flappers to the world on national TV. But then, Gary Lineker seems to have done alright.
