Some time ago, some netizens found a mouse in the Aksu region of Xinjiang, this mouse is full of white hair, looks round and rolling, and has a long tail, so that many netizens call it too cute, it is very difficult to see the three-toed cardiovascular jerboa. The three-toed cardiodial jerboa belongs to the smallest jerboa in the jerboy family, with a length of no more than 6 cm, but the tail is twice the body length, the weight is only about ten grams, it is a vulnerable animal in the world, and it belongs to the "three animals" in China, which is a very rare existence.
The three-toed cardiocranial jerboc was first discovered 100 years ago in Inner Mongolia, and most of their colors are yellowish-gray, because they have three toes on the hind feet and the hind feet are longer than the forelimbs, which looks very incongruous, so they are named after the three toes. It is mainly distributed in the semi-desert of Inner Mongolia and some areas in the northwest of China, accustomed to hiding in some bushes or places with shelter, often lying diurnal and nocturnal, mainly feeding on the roots of plants, and sometimes feeding on some insects or spiders.
As the weather continues to get colder, the jerboa is about to hibernate, and this time is between 6 and 9 months. They eat constantly until hibernation, but only the tail changes, because they store fat on the tail. They also move a bit during hibernation, but soon continue to hibernate until it's warm. When the weather warms up in April, they begin to breed, and can produce 3 to 4 at a time.
There are many kinds of jerboa, their appearance is also very different, for example, there is a long-eared jerboa in China, it is the most obvious is the same as the rabbit ear, the bouncing force is very strong, or live in the northwest region, is a more unique jerboa. The decrease in the number of jerboas has a certain relationship with the hunting of humans and natural enemies, like sand cats will specialize in preying on jerboas, which is a law in nature, so we can only better protect them and see it later.
