Pygmy Jerboa

Cute or Creepy? The Pygmy Jerboa

by 28

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."

It's what you might see if The Brain got a little too personal with Tweety Bird.

Awwww...though I kind of felt sorry for it. It's like a mouse got cut in half and stuck on top of some weird chicken feet. But it's still cute! I want one!

How 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

Totally cute. Jerboa's (specifically the long-eared jerboa) are in my Top 5 cutest animals, along with the bower bird, the kitten, the seahorse, and the newly added marmoset.
