Northern Three-toed Jerboa

The northern three-toed jerboa, also called the northern three-toed jerboa or hairy-footed jerboa, has greatly lengthened hind limbs, only three functional hind toes and a long tail with a terminal flag. Dense hairs beneath the feet spread its weight over loose sand. It occurs through Central Asia, Mongolia, northwestern China and southern Siberia. (Wikipedia, general species account)

It inhabits sandy desert and semidesert and remains in a burrow during daylight. At night it bounds across dunes while feeding on seeds, green plant material and insects. Seasonal dormancy occurs in colder parts of its range. (Wikipedia, general species account)
