	Jerboa - LoveToKnow 1911
		The resemblance between the jerboa's and the bird's skeleton is owing to adaptation to a similar mode of existence.
		In the young jerboa the proportion of the femur to the rest of the leg is the same as in ordinary running animals.
		When about to spring, this jerboa raises its body by means of the hinder extremities, and supports itself at the same time upon its tail, while the fore-feet are so closely pressed to the breast as to be scarcely visible, which doubtless suggested the name Dipus, or twofooted.

		Jerboa (Jaculus orientalis), a model for deep hibernation, is a small rodent herbivore native to subdesert highlands in Morocco [1,2].
		During prehibernating period, in which jerboa accumulates fatty acids in adipose tissue leading to a decrease in circulating triglycerides and in ketone body rates [4], the slowdown of BDH activity in liver and in brain seems to be due to the decrease in the production of its substrate (i.e.
		The jerboas were decapitated and liver and brain were rapidly removed for mitochondrial preparation according to Fleischer et al [25].

	BBC - h2g2 - The Jerboa
		The extraordinary leap of the Jerboa helps it to escape the jaws of hungry predators as well as enabling it to keep little contact with the burning sands of the deserts in which it lives.
		Jerboas also have tufts of hair on the undersides of their hind feet to stop them slipping on soft sand and help them kick sand backwards when they burrow.
		Jerboas live in tunnels that they create by moving sand using their blunt heads and strong noses to create tunnels that can be between 1.5 — 2.5 meters long.

	Jerboa: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		A jerboa is a small jumping desert rodent of Asia and northern Africa[?] that resembles a mouse with a long tufted tail and very long hind legs.
		The ancestors of the modern jerboas probably separated from the more generalised rodents about 8 million years ago on the arid plains of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, and then spread to Europe and northern Africa.
		It is interesting to note that although jerboas are not closely related to the hopping mice of Australia or the kangaroo rats of North America, all three groups have evolved a similar set of adaptations to life in the deep desert.
