Mysterious Mammal Caught On Film


The Long-eared Jerboa (Euchoreutes naso) is a nocturnal mouse-like rodent with a long tail, long hind legs for jumping, and exceptionally large ears. It is distinct enough that authorities consider it to be the only member of both its genus, Euchoreutes, and subfamily, Euchoreutinae.

The long-eared jerboa can be found in deserts in Mongolia and China. Now, the creature has been caught on camera for what scientists believe is the first time.
