If you haven’t heard of it yet then it’s time you meet the unusual amazing creature that looks like a mouse with the biggest ears ever! The name of this jumping mammal that’s absolutely adorable is Jeroba and it lives in North Africa and Asia, in both hot and cold deserts including Gobi desert and Sahara desert.

Their erratic jumping is good for evading predators and likely for finding hidden, random food resources, but it’s not very good for their energy because it takes a lot of their energy jumping around unlike other small animals that walk instead. The most interesting fact about these creatures is that they don’t drink water! Other interesting characteristics of Jerboas is that they have an excellent hearing, their diet is based on plans, their lifespan is two to three years and they have a very long tail that’s even longer than it’s whole body! Enough of the talking, scroll down and take a look at this extraordinary creature that’s extremely cute!

If you haven’t heard of this animal spice, it’s time we introduce to you the most interesting scaled mammal that lives in Asia.

There are eight species of Pangolin still in existence worldwide, as well as several extinct species over their 80 million year evolution. What’s interesting about this animals is that their tongue is longer than their body and they’re the only mammals in the world covered in scales.

Their name means ‘something that rolls up’and no one know how long do they live which is pretty intriguingly! They’re also one of the most trafficked animal on earth because of their scales which can be sold on the black market for over $3,000 a kilogram, and are used to make coats. If you wished to buy this cutie as your pet, you should know that depending on your state, county, and city, they may be illegal to own.

Spanish street artist Pejac created amazing social paintings on the streets of Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong.

By some installations he wanted to disclose political and social problems of those countries, by others he wanted to praise their people and traditions. All those paintings are unique pieces of art and every citizen can look at them and think about many important questions.
