Jerboa live mainly in Africa and Asia, but some species live in Europe and one in North America. The jerboa look like a kangaroo. Thanks to their long hind legs, they easily jump for distances 20 times the length of their body. All species have thick, soft wool of sand color, as all jerboas like to settle in grassy steppes and dry plains. These animals live in shallow burrows with a lot of emergency exits, in case of rapid flight. In case of danger, the jerboa rushes headlong into its hole, issuing a squeal, similar to the cry of young kittens.
