# 5 If you mix a jerboa and a squirrel... a squerboa?











+

Imagine an everyday, friendly neighborhood gray squirrel. Can you think of anything that could possibly make it any cuter? The big, broad ears of a jerboa would be a start. And its extra beady black eyes. And increased jumping abilities. This unique species, the squerboa, was bred in labratories, but a few pairs escaped into the wild. They now reside in Midwestern suburbia, coexisting peacefully with the native wildlife. Squerboas eat anything they can get their tiny paws on, including acorns, clover, and berries. Some of squerboas' favorite activities include branch-jumping competitions. Land on the branch, or, well, lose. They also enjoy communicating through flag signals using their ears. The avid animal enthusiast can observe these remarkable antics with a generic pair of binoculars.

I don't agree with you that squirrels are cute. There is a baby squirrel in my house. It probably got in through the vent. It's really creepy, but I guess it's scared. If they were in their natural environment, I guess they would be cute. I haven't seen many because of their shy nature. Your creature does look really cute though. It looks sort of like an anteater.
