The Poisonous Jerboas




The jerboas are a small type of rodents. They have big ears to hear every possible danger at a distance, two long legs for hopping at large speeds and a very long and fluffy tail for whatever it suppose to do. They live in the hot deserts at some regions of Asia and Africa.

At night, when the weather is a little less hot, they leave their shelters and go hunting. They eat insects like beetles, but also their diet is based on a lot of plants.

The thing that I like the most about the jerboas is that they look very funny, like a miniature kangaroo mixed with a rodent or something like that. Their ability to walk doing little hops is also very amusing to me.

I also remember when I was a child, I was told that jerboas are poisonous animals, so I always liked the idea of such a little and stupid looking rodent could be very dangerous and kill you with their venom. When i grow up, realized that I probably misunderstand or invented that information myself, and sadly the jerboas are not a dangerous animals (even less poisonous) like I had imagined in my youth. But because of that bad information, their name and image have stuck with me to this day, so I remember them fondly.

  2. I really knew nothing about these. Also, mammals are never poisonous--only the platypus, which, despite being a mammal, retains many reptilian characteristics.
