With the local name of “Al Jirdi”, this little guy grows up to 28cm and is brown or reddish brown in colour. ππ
A long tail of 14cm, with white claws comes in handy for gravel and sandy plains in which Jird’s live, in Qatar. πΆπ¦π

With rain, the Jird’s numbers increase.ππ
In Qatar Jird’s are widespread without any threat to survival. π π
