    I don't know how true this is - but I read somewhere that Pikachu - main character on the Pokemon animated series is based on the long-eared jerboa.

    Proving that a species can exist entirely on the evolutionary trait of which is being soooo darn cute!

    But you just know a herd of them can strip the flesh from a man's bones in under a minute.

    Lol Kaz... I was thinking something along those lines as well.
    Like a cross between a chick and a hamster.

    How on earth can that be real?? My heart seriously ached when I watched the video. I am going to die from the cuteness of it. Good god.

    That thing gave me the creeps! Why does everyone think its cute?

    I love how he hops. There has to be some evil quality to counter the cuteness. They'll probably chew your face off at night.
