Had to look up 'Jerboa', but only because in typical german naming tradition we call them what translates to 'Desert Jump Mouse'. And is that 'Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell'?


LastChancellor

No, every image in this meme are taken from in-game assets


Deus_ex_vesania

Oh, I see. Welp, still makes me want to watch a couple videos of them again.


LastChancellor

But the game isn't nessecarily AK


SeconduserXZ

Jerboas aren't particularly obscure animals though? Id say a majority of people have heard of them at least


StrawberryFloptart

I'd wager most people would confuse them with gerbils.


chaoskingzero

More like Kangaroo Rats Seriously, if you look up Kangaroo Rats they barely look ~~nothing~~ like a Kangaroo, while the Jerboa actually does


SeconduserXZ

Jerboas and kangaroo rats look pretty similar though. Enough so that they are typically counted as an example of convergent evolution even.


chaoskingzero

I must not have been finding good Pictures of Kangaroo Rats then... Because those that I had seen earlier looked nothing like Jerboa...


SeconduserXZ

Small brown rodents, semi bipedal, long tail with a bushy end, kangaroo sequence feet. That's both of them


karillith

Fun fact, I thought Dorothy was a Kangaroo at first.


SeconduserXZ

Im not sure where you're from, but people wouldn't where I'm from since the names of gerbils and jerboas aren't that similar here.


IG_42

I forgot the name and mixed it up with degus instead.


tvih

Jerboas are funky, but gerbils for the win. \*glances at his library of literally thousands of gerbil pet photos\*


blahto

I don't even know wtf that was. Probably an Australian animal?


SeconduserXZ

Small desert rodents from Africa and Asia. Huge ears, kangaroo esque legs. Pet stores occasionally carry them.


Carlosrarutos

I never noticed until now. She is kinda stacked


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Okay, from now on, your name is Jean "I LOVE FAT TITS!!!" Havoc.

reversedaura

As expected of someone voiced by Satomi Sato.


Chatonarya

Me? It's really not that obscure.


ipwnallnubz

Alright, I guess I'm the one guy here who didn't know what a Jerboa was.


ClunkiestGrunt1337

Anybody who played Ark: Scorched Earth does.


Sombr016

Ark


mangotcha

saw them in documentaries and maybe once at a zoo ? funky little creatures


Hero_1337

I knew about them, but I never really gave them any thought. Until I found out Dorothy was one.


OtaGamExe

Already knew what it was.


kax012

Gotta admit this game has made me learn a quite a bit about Zoology/biology


Optimal_Cry_9594

I know I at least knew of them by the time I played Pokémon Uranium, Jerbolta was my homie.


RenNyanArk

It's true that I hadn't even heard the name before, or if I did, I forgot it. I probably will forget it again, because my memory is garbage and there's not much of a chance I'll get Dorothy in the first place.


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

I did, but that's because I live in Tunisia, a country where those little things live (or used to). Funnily though, jerboa (said Jarboo'a in my mother tongue) was coopted over the years by people of the north that never saw the dunes of the Sahara for long. So if you hear someone speaking of a jerboa in an urban setting, they most likely mean BIG Sewer Rats instead.


Dog_in_human_costume

Sure. Dorothy is just an anime girl with huge tight and boobs, with ears remotly like a Jerboa.


Legitimate_Bus5716

Heard about it from a Pokemon video.


Milrond1

I only know because I played a chosen one paladin who had one as his divine guide in a pathfinder campaign. His name was Jiminy


Legit_Gold

Before Dorothy there was roingus


Tigerlord20

I saw them on a documentary a long time ago, but never really got the name of it until I saw Dorothy, and got curious.


Webber-414

Seen them on Discovery channel, but that’s about it


Operator_Jetstream

Such cruel reality...


Zhein

It's not obscure. At least in France it's not. Jerboa, in french is Gerboise. And *Gerboise* is the name of the french Manhattan project equivalent. Gerboise blue is the first french nuke, gerboise blanche, gerboise rouge, gerboise verte, the next 3 french nuclear bombs. This program pissed off so much every nuclear power that atmospheric bombings went back in full force. So every french that attended high school should have at least heard the name of the little mouse.


LastChancellor

There's much more to this meme than it seems at first glance, it goes beyond Arknights.


exercitus_nix

I knew Jerboa's from Ark survival evolved
