The Long-eared Jerboa, Euchoreutes naso, is a nocturnal mouse-like rodent with a long tail, long hind legs for jumping, and exceptionally large ears. It is distinct enough that authorities consider it to be the only member of both its genus, Euchoreutes, and subfamily, Euchoreutinae.
It has been reported in China and in ten localities in desert habitats of Trans Altai Govi Desert and Alashan Plateau semi-desert in Mongolia. A large part of the species is believed to occur in Mongolia within protected areas. Very little is known about the species. No conservation measures specifically aimed at this species have been established, although EDGE are planning to send a researcher out to study human impact on its environment in the summer of 2007.
