# 5 dumbest animal in the world: the jerboa
Jerboas are small, bizarre rodents. They offer breathtaking views as they move at astonishing speed in amazing ways. They are bipedal – a trait that allows their tiny legs to jump like a kangaroo or run like a road runner. However, they are difficult to breed in captivity.
Found in Africa and Asia, this is another of those animals on the list that don’t seem to know how to survive. They do not know how to find food, save food and protect it. Plus, with their powerful, strange looking legs, they either run like road runners or jump like super frogs. Watching them run back and forth to avoid predators is pretty insane. But there is no record to prove it doesn’t work!
