Jerboas

Jerboas are a species of animal native to the Pride Lands and the desert. 
==Physical characteristics==
Desert jerboas are tiny, lithe creatures with brown and gold fur to match the colors of their habitat. They have large, pink feet, long, tufted tails, and somewhat round and oversized heads. Pride Lands jerboas are similar in size, but have light and dark brown fur, much larger ears, brown feet, and darker tails.
==Sociocultural characteristics==
Jerboas are not known to prey upon other animals, but they do fear predators, such as lions, themselves. They are loners by nature.
==History==
===The Lion Guard===
===="The Kupatana Celebration"====
One of Dogo's brothers steals a nut from a jerboa. Reirei gives it back, singing about how they have to win animals' trust before taking advantage of them in the musical sequence "Jackal Style".
===="The Call of the Drongo"====
A jerboa is eating roots when she hears Tamaa in Makuu's voice saying he wants to eat her. In fear, she flees and appeals to the Lion Guard for help. As the Lion Guard investigates, she notices that her roots are gone, and Makuu is nowhere to be seen. Later, Tamaa steals a nut from a jerboa during the musical sequence "Bird of a Thousand Voices".
===="Lions of the Outlands"====
Zira plays with a jerboa in the musical sequence "Lions Over All".
===="Journey of Memories"====
In the desert, the Lion Guard stumble onto a booming sand dune. Bunga jumps repeatedly on the dune, and wakes up Tupp. Annoyed, Tupp kicks sand into Kion's face by accident, causing him to growl at Tupp, which scares him away.
At night, Tupp is calmer, and Kion apologizes for growling. Tupp leads the Guard to find water in a plant, and notes that the sky is used for navigation, and tells the Guard to head towards the cliffs, where their next moja kwa moja stone is.
