Gerbil
All gerbils have long hind feet and fairly large ears and eyes, but
there is variation among other characteristics. Body form varies from
stout and compact to slender and gracile. One of the largest is the
great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus), which inhabits the deserts of Centeral Aisia and is 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 inches) long, with a slightly shorter, densely haired tail. The smallest is probably Desmodilliscus braueri
of northern Africa, weighing a mere 6 to 14 grams (0.2 to 0.5 ounce)
and measuring 4 to 8 cm long, not including the shorter, scantily haired
tail.
