Winter’s Tale by Valeriy Maleev (Russia)

Maleev spotted this Pallas’s cat while it was hunting in the Mongolian grasslands. It was bitterly cold day but the fairytale scene cancelled out the cold. Pallas’s cats are no bigger than a domestic cat and they stalk small rodents, birds and occasionally insects

Animal of the Day!

Long-Eared Jerboa (Euchoreutes naso)

(Photo by Valeriy Maleev)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Asia

Size (Weight/Length)- 38 g; 90 mm; 162 mm tail

Diet- Desert plants

Cool Facts- Why are animals with oversized features generally cuter? That’s just how it is. Long-eared jerboas live up to their names, sporting massive ears on a tiny body. Their front limbs are disproportionately small to the rest of their body. Their much larger hind legs are used to run and jump at considerable speeds across the desert, using its long tail as a rudder. Jerboa’s ears have more of a use than just being cute. Living in mostly desert regions, their ears help to keep them cool by emitting body heat. Despite having many records of the long-eared jerboa, little is known about their behavior.

Rating- 10/10 (Legs were too long for Vogue.)

"Big Ears"

A long-eared jerboa in the Mongolian part of the Gobi Desert. As blood moves through the ears of these usually nocturnal animals, excess heat dissipates across the skin and so the jerboa is able to stay cool.
