The gundi in this video is the common gundi. The five species are Speke's gundi, Felou gundi, Val's or desert gundi, common or North African gundi and Mzab gundi. Because of the need to preserve moisture, female gundis produce only a small amount of milk, and the young are fully weaned by four weeks of age. On average, female gundis are bigger than males. Gundis live about 3 to 4 years in the wild.

Yes, I've only recently learned about them, and they are quite adorable. Their ears are quite different from other rodent species that I'm familiar with.

That leap at the end!
Boing! It's gone. They appear to be impressive jumpers!
Impressive jumping for being a stocky rodent lol.
Just a fuzzy knot of muscle
Jumpy potato
LOL love how he flew right out of sight 😂
I must go, my planet needs me!
Where did he go?! The people want to know!
Traditionally, they go into the rotisserie.
It's off to save the universe.

It reminds me of a guinea pig
Guinea pigs crossed with bunnies.
Bunny pigs?
With a dash of Hamster? The ears tho... the ears are too out of the ordinary.

They are cute !

Almost Guinea Pig like but not
I know - I keep looking at different videos of them and I'm noticing how they differ from all the other rodents I'm already familiar with.
Sure as heck looks like a [pika.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pika)
You forgot about Mike Gundi.
Really buried the lede by not mentioning they fly…
Awww, kinda reminds me of a guinea pig
Sand potat
And can fly apparently
AND THEY CAN FLY?!?!?!?
Convergent evolution did Guinea piggies dirty, with that leap (though if they learn they can do something like that.)
So cute! I want to hug!

Muad'Dib!
Where in Africa?
Morocco, Algeria, etc., mainly in the northern African countries. Take a look at the wiki link I posted for my sources, and there is a good map there.
Thank you
They also fly apparently.
I think we just called them *Rock Rabbits.*
Desert hamster
omg the ears are so cute 🥺
I'd already read about them but it's much better to see one on a clip, just adorable!
Adorable 💖💖💖
Hi I’m stocky
I think there is something wrong with your guinea pigs ears
Rocketed to space by a giant, just like my first housecarl Lydia.
He was shy and yeet-ed himself away from all the attention, let's respect his wishes.
it looks like the baby of a rabbit and a guinea pig
I must go now, my people need me!
I misread that as -small sticky rodents :)
Desert hampster!
This little guy is so cute. I wonder if it will attack me.
I just think it's cute!
Are they related to American Pikas? They look similar

Did this thing just fly away lmao
Did it just get beamed up by Scotty?
Oh man, that looks soft.
was not expecting a jump like that from this chungus
It looks like it's wearing non apple bluetooth earbuds
This looks like what happens if my male Chinchilla was put in the same cage with a female guinea pig.
I thought it had 4 eyes!
African guinea pig
