Jerboas can hop 10–13 cm (4–5 in) normally but if threatened by a predator the Jerboa can jump up to 3 m (10 ft). [9] Jerboas are most active at twilight (crepuscular). [10] During the heat of the day, they shelter in burrows. At night, they leave the burrows due to the cooler temperature of their environment.
Tennessee competes against Jerboa Jump in the finals of a bowling tournament hosted by Stanley Livingston. Jerboa tricks Tennessee into thinking that something is wrong with his eyes and gives him glasses made from the bottoms of glass bottles. Phineas J. Whoopee explains to Tennessee how the eyes work after exposing the ruse.
The jerboas have very long hind legs which, in most species, include cannon bones. They move either by jumping, or by walking on their hind legs. The jumping mice have long feet, but lack the extreme adaptations of the jerboas, so that they move by crawling or making short hops, rather than long leaps.
The long-eared jerboa (Euchoreutes naso) [2] is a nocturnal mouse-like rodent with a long tail, long hind legs for jumping, and exceptionally large ears. It is distinct enough that authorities consider it to be the only member of both its genus, Euchoreutes, and subfamily, Euchoreutinae. Long-eared jerboas are found in the Palearctic ecozone.
The jerboa body length ranges from 5–15 cm and has a tail ranging from 7–25 cm. [7] The "forelimbs of the jerboa serve as a pair of hands for feeding, grooming, etc." [8] Jerboas use their nose to burrow and push the dirt when looking for food. [9] The male jerboa is usually larger in size and weight in comparison to the female jerboa. [10]
