Gerbbuck

Gerbbucks (Adillidae) are a family of rodents native throughout Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. They are most closely related to the gerbils, in which they may have been descended from in the Oligocene thanks to fossil evidence. They are either insectivores, omnivores, or herbivores, depending on a species or subspecies. Also depending on a species, they can be either solitary animals that only meets others of their own species during mating seasons, while there are also herd-dwelling species that can live in herds up to around 75 in a single group. Many species of gerbbucks have evolved to have bipedal standing and walking locomotions much like thicktails.
