Description

Long-eared Jerboa (Euchoreutes naso)
Classified as Endangered (EN A1c) on the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Jerboas are small jumping rodents that resemble mice with long tufted tails and very long hindlegs. The long-eared jerboa can be distinguished from other jerboas by its enormous ears, which are about a third larger than its head.

My favourite animal! (no surprise that I like small rodents!!)

There is a fuller version of the footage released by 'EDGE' but I couldn't find the embed code. This clip doesn't really show quite how small they are ....

The other clip from the extended footage shows them hopping around near the 'EDGE' team's feet:

Thanks for this submission! I love it when palettes become also instructive! =)

I've seen picture of this Jeroba before but I don't know anything about them - I didn't even know the name.
I tried to search more detailed information but it seems we don't know much:

They are presumed to be principally nocturnal, just like their relatives. Specific manners of communicating with each other have not been established, still, it is not farfetched to assume that just like their cousins, they engage in dust bathing, which can be considered a kind of chemical communication. These jerboas’ hearing insinuates that they utilize vibrations to talk to one another.
