I worked on an oil rig back in the 80s. There was a drill site in Kansas that there were hundreds of these around the location. It was amazing how tame they were once they figured out we wasn't going to hurt them. We would fees them potato chips, cookies, sunflower seeds or what ever was left from our lunches. It got where they would all gather behind the doghouse (building where the crew changed clothes, & get out of the weather) and wait for lunch to be served. Years later I got out of the oilfield and changed my occupation as a CNC Machinist I saw one inside the building on my way to the break room, I went back to my machine and took a cookie out of my lunch and fed it. For about 3 months every morning around 2:30 am it would hop up to my machine and wait for a hand out. It was quite content to eat at my machine and when finished, it would hop away just to show up the next morning like clockwork.
hey that sucks dude, leave wild animals alone. you teach them to over-rely on humans, and make it harder for them to forage for themselves. you also expose them to more danger as they wont be scared of humans anymore, and we humans can be pretty damn dangerous. All around incredibly naive and thoughtless of you. you may have doomed that whole population just because you thought they were “cute”
So, when you think they're hopping about on foot they are actually standing on their toes. Jerboas are not just mini kangaroos from the Arizona... they're BALLERINAS!
“It’s not an either-or that we should study human disease or we should study weird animals" may be one of the best and truest statements I've ever heard. Very interesting stuff as well!
Oh my, I've been working in some dinosaur+jerboa+other animals hybrid in order to make those more like the raptors in the Jurassic Park franchise (obiously, a fantasy chimera, nothing else), and I wasn't sure about using jerboa because I only knew that they hopped but wasn't sure if they could walk, this have been a really educational vid
one of my art professors sent me a card describing himself with a jerboa picture on it. we tried to figure it out but finally had to ask what it meant, he said it was because the jerboa never drinks water. he was a lifelong alcoholic.
Some Jerboas are the size of Rabbits while others are the size of pygmy mice. Some have ears making up 2/3 of their body length while others have mouse sized ears. All of them love to hop.
This randomly got recommended to me after watching dooby too much
Like same yo

So they're staying en pointe like a ballerina? So cute!
What a wonderful and informative little video. Yet now I'm not going to be calling them "jerboas." but "noodle hop hop"s.
+edstella haha :)
You go do that. I'm just gonna be watching more RUclips vids about Jer-Noodle hop hop's. Darn! It's contagious!
I've always wanted a pet jerboa, it's like they took a mouse and duck taped chopsticks to its back legs.
This thing looks like somebody painstakingly recreated a mouse in Spore and then their asshole sibling stretched the legs as far as they go.
They're so strange looking that they almost look fake, adorable nonetheless.
Honey, I Shrunk the T-rex?
Well done dude! You just came up with the next hit movie of the century. Let's give him a round of applause!
pineapple boss 👏👏👏👏👏
I now have the need for an animated film about jerboas.
I'm working on a video game about one. It's on my profile on Julian's Editor.
now they need to make noises to tell us when the weather will change. and we need to put em on our shoulder
Fun fact: Fang the Sniper from the _Sonic_ series was originally designed as a jerboa, as confirmed by the character designer himself.
I don't see it
Sorry for replying to such an old comment but Fang is the reason I got obsessed with jerboas
My quality of life has improved greatly since I learned about these sillies
i had a group of these chase after me when i was younger...... gave me night mares
So that's what happened to the T-Rex.
+Trey Lyles stop talking about yourself. We don't need to hear that you're ugly we already know that.

OMG. Did she just compare them to a T-Rex instead of a kangaroo?
I never even knew these things existed!
No.
+GtaHorrorFan No you didn't.

They said I could be anything I wanted. So I became a kiwi.

Some species of Jerboas are carnivorous, feeding on insects. So to bugs these guys are sort of like a furry Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Good job. Very informative Tqvm.
jerboas are my favorite animmal
Aha! Runway model!!
Cross a gerbil with a boa constrictor and get a gerboa! But I guess it's spelled jerboa, so that doesn't quite work.
Welcome to the USA under DUMP(trademark 2017)
Bruh they have very strange feet :/ the fur in them kinda reminds me of a horse
Very nice and informative video!
Look it's Fang the Sniper!
