Here's a site on plague research and the great gerbil in Kazakhstan. With pictures of the great gerbil and burrow holes.

Great pictures! It's the first time I see them.

Here a page on this species, the Giant Gerbil (Rhombomys opimus). It's a page of the National Gerbil Society (UK).

Personally I think I would like them, however I don't know how they are as pets! I read on that page that they were once in the UK, but not anymore! And sometimes in Moscow zoo.

They seem be very LARGE versions of the Mongolian gerbil. Quite scary actually! Imagine your gerbils the size of a rabbit! ;D
