Okay, this is old news. But I was busy when it came out.
The first footage of the Long-eared Jerboa has been filmed recently. The mammals live in Mongolia and are nocturnal. This makes it very hard to film them. You can see the footage below. Enjoy.
Dr. Jonathan Baillie, who led the expedition, said they're hoping it will help them to learn more about the mysterious mammals.
"These creatures hop just like a kangaroo; it is amazing to watch. Little hairs on their feet, almost like snow shoes, allow them to jump along the sand," he said.
"These amazing, remarkable creatures are on the verge of extinction and we know almost nothing about them."
These animals with their ears a third times bigger than their head are really cute, don't you agree? I hope they get saved from extinction.
Please comment.
Thank you.
