This Is The Cutest Rodent In The World

The Baluchistan Pygmy Jerboa 
is the smallest and cutest rodent in the world. 

​This animal is considered
endemic to Pakistan 
but there's a good possibility
that it is found in Afghanistan 
​since these two countries 
lie next to each other.
​It grows to an average
of 1.7 inches for adults
in head and body length
that looks like a cotton ball,
with its long tail
averaging 3.1 inches.

It's also named
as  dwarf three-toed jerboa
and lives in the plains
​and sand dunes
in the deserts.
It is nocturnal
or active during the night 
and feeds on seeds and leaves 
of desert-adapted plants.
But they are hunted down
by sand vipers, 
monitor lizards
and sand cats living
​in the desert.
