The rocky areas of the desert are the habitat preferred by the grobbit, Ungulamys cerviforme. This rodent is about 60 centimetres long, excluding the tail, and has hooves developed on its third and fourth digi

ts enabling it to run about the craggy landscape of the rocky desert. The second and fifth digits of its front feet have small claws that almost touch the hooves when the foot is bent, allowing the grobbit to grasp and pull down branches and feed on them. The grobbit lives in packs all over the rocky desert zone of the African and Asian sub-continents
