Jerboa Quest 3

In this groundbreaking film, a greater Egyptian jerboa hangs out in a kitchen to a tune from Dragon Quest 3. Set expectations to "low."

I look at jerboas and have trouble believing they're real. Something about their legs looks unreal, as if they're a hamster whose availed itself of a titanium prosthesis, or a child's craft project.

Very bouncy though. Love 'em!

Didn't realize jerboas could be kept as pets. If my house wasn't already filled with hairy, shedding mammals I'd consider one. That one looks quite tame and adorable. Loves to hop, too.
