Desert Animals : Great Jerboa
The great jerboa and 8 of the 9 other species in the genus Allactaga have five toes on each hind foot. Great jerboas feed on seeds and insects, which they find by combing through the sand with the long slender claws on their front feet. They are nocturnal, spending the day in burrows; they also hibernate in burrows. One or two litters are produced each year. |
