That is the weirdest looking creature! Not sure what it is, but I agree with your guess as well...lol

 

[insert name here]

Holy crap! That was like some horror creature. Kind of looked like an emaciated kangaroo rat.

That is a Jerboa. Generally found in desert areas.

It looks like it had a bath and that is why it looks so skinny.

Somebody merged a rat and a baby chick. I want one too!

they have these little guys in Jersey. At the Pine Barrens, I recently took a class trip and the teacher said they're living there.

Weird looking thing when I first saw it I wasn't sure if it was cute or just plain weird.

It looks like a young salpingotus michaelis, or Baluchistan Pygmy Jerboa, as Haleybobl said. How adorable. And what a fastidious cleaner!

 

[SoCaliSon]

He he...That little guy looked pissed! He has the evil eye down!

 

[LBonawitz]

Yeah, he does the stink eye better than a Meller's!

Looks like his keeper just gave him a bath. Maybe that's why he's upset. He looks kind of wet and is probably finishing his grooming on his own. How adorable.
