Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011

It's not a rhinogradentian: it's the most fantastic jerboa, Euchoreutes
More stuff from the archives... or, from Tet Zoo ver 1 anyway. The following article is about the bizarre jerboa Euchoreutes naso. Back when I wrote the article (2006), there were no photos of this species available, and I had to resort to using a single painting.
