Jerboa may be tiny, but when it comes to culture, he’s enormous. Ballets, operas, plays if there’s a stage, he’s front and center, usually perched on the very edge of his seat.

The catch? For such a small creature, Jerboa has a remarkable knack for obstructing views. Those oversized ears, always alert, often cast a shadow over the performance for anyone sitting behind him.

Still, it’s impossible to stay annoyed his excitement is downright contagious. A devoted patron of the arts, even if he might benefit from a slightly more rearward seat.
