Gerbil

“They are somewhat rat-like in appearance, but are noted for the elegance of their forms, the length of their tail and hind-legs, and the lightness of their movements. Some live in cultivated districts; all burrow in the earth, where they hoard up provisions, and all are nocturnal in their habits.” — S. G. Goodrich, 1885
