The Pygmy Jerboa (no, that is not a Pixar creation) is a small jumping desert rodent found in Asia and northern Africa. It looks like a cross between a chick and a mouse, has a long tufted tail and, as you can see, long hind legs. My favorite detail about this weird little critter? Its fur is "long, soft and silky."

7How could that possibly be creepy? There are a lot of things in our world that are actually scary, but this is definitely not one of them. It's a tiny fuzzball, not a predator lol

11It looks like a mouse with duck feet, wearing a gerbil costume
