    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.

    If it had a beak, I would think it was tweety bird.

    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.

    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.

    Eee it’s so tragically cute! It looks like a little old man crossed with pikachu.
