THE LONG-EARED JERBOA Do Your Kids Know This? Tanya Turner

The Long-Eared Jerboa is a species of Jerboa. As you can tell by its looks, it's a type of rodent (so it's related to mice).



Long-Eared Jerboas, in particular, are small. They only measure about 3 to 3.5 inches (from head to body) and weigh around 24 to 38 grams. They have long tails - which can measure about 5.9 to 6.4 inches, so their tails are actually longer than their bodies.



The Long-Eared Jerboa's identifying mark is their ears. They're definitely long, that's why having long ears is even included in its name. Its ears are so large, in fact, these are even larger than its head. Can you imagine your ears being larger than your head? People would look really strange if that were so!
