Long-eared jerboa (Euchoreutes naso) The long-eared jerboa has one of the highest ear to bidy ratios in the animal Kingdom. The are generally found in arid and semi-arid areas, especially when it is sandy with low shrubbery. They move by jumping, much like a kangaroo. Their feet have specialised hairs on them that help them jump through the sand. Their large feet and fused leg bones also help this movement. They are nocturnal and usually make around four different types of burrows! A temporary burrow for the day will be made, that is used to hunt in daylight. A temporary burrow for night time is used to hunt or rest during hours of darkness. A permenant burrow for summer is used to give birth to their young and sleep during the day. Then finally, a permanant winter burrow will be made for hibernation. They are insectivorous, and are at most risk from predation of owls - as they to are active most at night. Little research has being done on the long-eared jerbosa compared to other mammals. Jerbosa have being studied, but it is not known for certain that this particular species behaves as the rest do.
