American jerboa

An American jerboa (Euchoreutes sonora), also known as the long-eared jumping mouse, the American hopping mouse, and the North American jerboa, is a species of rodent of the family Dipodidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American jerboa's head and body length measures 70 mm (2.8 in) to 90 mm (3.5 in) while its tail is double this size, between 150 mm (5.9 in) and 162 mm (6.4 in). Like its disproportionately long tail, its hind feet are also large, helping it to jump high, measuring between 40 mm (1.6 in) and 46 mm (1.8 in). American jerboas have excellent hearing that they use to avoid becoming the prey of nocturnal predators. The typical lifespan of a jerboa is around six years. When chased, American jerboas can run at up to 24 kilometres per hour (15 mph). The main predators of the American jerboas are rattlesnakes and burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia). American jerboas generally live longer than their Asian relatives, the long-eared jerboas (Euchoreutes naso), usually around 6-7 years. American jerboas are insectivorous, they eat mostly flying insects and beetles (including their larvae), although they've been known to eat ants to supplement their diet. The American jerboa is polygynous, breeding usually happens soon after emerging from winter hibernation. Females breed twice during summer and raise 2 to 6 young. The gestation period is from 25 to 35 days. Like most mammals, American jerboas nurse and look after their offspring at least until weaning takes place. The conservation status of the American jerboa is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American jerboa's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
