Species?
Ste Started conversation Nov 7, 2002
The entry goes out of its way to detail the taxonomy of the animal but never makes it past Genus, what is the species name? I should have caught this is PR really, but I missed it. Oh yeah, and only the Genus and Species should be italicised, to be absolutely accurate.

Psh, those pesky medlding editors, huh? I tell you.
You meant subfamily Dipodinae though right?
So, "Jerboa" refers to all species in the Jaculus genus?
Thanks for the reply, great entry

Yeah a Jerboa is anything in the Genus Jaculus.
What I should have said that there are 5 sub groups to the genus not subfamily... yeah thats right I think!
