Comment number:   1
By:   Walter Jubber
Comment:   Gerbillurus paeba (Pygmy or Paeba Hairy-footed Gerbil). The first two images are not clear, however one can see there is a two tone to the tail, same colour as dorsal pelage on top of the tail, with a white underside. In this specie the muzzle is long and pointed with white marking on the side as seen in image 3.
