Today our protagonist is a kind of flying squirrel. When I first saw this picture, I didn't know how to describe this animal, because at first glance it looked a bit like a quail, but it had ears and front paws and tail.
Fortunately, when it did not stand up, the other features were still very similar to hamsters, round bodies, black eyes, but how could this tail be as thick and long as a big mouse? Like a miniature rat, comics can't draw such a strange animal.
Do you see how it stands up, like a quail? Circle circle is the expression of this animal courtship, the opposite sex will be attracted to this circle of the appearance, and then reproduce, such a small body can give birth to five or six!
Its scientific name is the three-toed cardiovascular jerboa, which is the smallest jerboa in the world. You don't look at it as small, but it has provided a lot of help for human medical undertakings, especially diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Later, this small animal became a very popular pet in Japan, and gradually it was known to more and more people, breeding, breeding, and people with a heavy heart of curiosity treated this exotic pet as a treasure.
Unlike other mice, it likes to be bright, but be careful about the temperature of the light source, it may be burned. Its thick tail also has a function that you can't imagine, which is to store fat and energy in winter, because their bodies are so small.
Looking at such a miniature body, do you feel that it is fragile? You're mistaken, but it can survive in a desert with extremely harsh climates, otherwise why would scientists study it?
