 these unusual AFRICAN GERBILS are cute and friendly  

Duprasi are also known as the fat-tailed gerbil and sometimes as Doops. Some people consider them a missing link between gerbils and hamsters. Their wild habitat in Northern Sahara (North-western Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria) is composed of sparsely vegetated sands sheets and rocky deserts. They are naturally insectivorous and would live in sandy burrows in the wild.
