About the Hairy-footed Gerbil
A small nocturnal rodent adapted to dry and semi-arid environments across southern Africa. The Hairy-footed Gerbil has furry soles that help protect its feet from hot sand and loose substrates. It feeds mainly on seeds, vegetation, and insects and spends much of the day sheltered in burrows, becoming active after dark.
How to identify the Hairy-footed Gerbil
Small, slender nocturnal rodent with large eyes, relatively long hind legs, a long tail, and distinctly hairy soles on the feet. Usually difficult to observe in daylight because it remains concealed in burrows and becomes active after dark.
