Barbary Stripped Grass Mouse

This species of mouse is native to coastal Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.  The life expectancy of the grass mouse is no more than 6 months in the wild. They construct narrow tunnels to store food.


Greater Mouse Tailed Bat

Mouse Tailed Bats live in deserts and semi-arid climates in North Africa and South Asia, from Morocco and Senegal to South Sudan, the Middle East and India to Myanmar, Thailand, and North-Sumatra. They typically eat insects, including flying ants, termites, beetles, and moths. As the temperatures get cooler, they store fat, especially in the abdominal, stomach, region. These fat deposits can equal the bat's normal body weight.
