Long-Eared Jerboa (Euchoreutes Naso)
Very little is known about the strange Long-eared jerboa. It is only a few centimeters tall, hops like a kangroo, has a tail 3 times the size of its body and has that some of the largest ears relative to size. Like many other creatures today, it is in danger as its habitat on the barren steppes of Mongolia is under threat. Recently, Jonathan Baillie of Evolutionary Distinct & Globally Endangered (EDGE) foundation was able to film these creatures for the first. You can see the amazing footage here.
