Found an eerie one of these guys in a dungeon, took the implant and when I got out of the dungeon I revived and tamed it (im on the island so I cant find them in the wild)
Jerboa
While the Jerboa has little practical use, some survivors enjoy its companionship as a cuddly, shoulder-mounted pet. This mini kangaroo-like creature is able to sense upcoming weather changes and its behavior will indicate when a tribe might need to prepare. The Jerboa is easy to tame, however, low torpor means survivors need to pay close attention to it while taming.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Jerboa in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Very good if you want to detect storms and easy to get early game. Collect cool colours and breed to make a colourful siren for when weather events happen
This cute little fella can detect a storm up to THREE MINUTES! They also reduce the weight in their invintory which makes it somewhat good for travling. You will need to make sure the parents have a fairly good food stat or the baby will die pretty fast or give it food as soon…

Somehow this cutie has snook it’s way to mobile
On Ragnarok, these Jerboa can be found around 18 , 20. They're 100% harmless and can be found at only level 1. 😁
It can be picked up by a Kapro. Gently but possible. Press attack once after picking up to kill. :(
Very easy tame. Most people should get one because it warns you about weather.
You find them in the dessert in the lost Iand
So you really need this if you are playing in scroched earth because these can help you on the desert because it can sense when a heat wave is coming I hope the helped.
How is this on mobile it's insane thanks for the people who let others know or else I wouldn't know
Jerboas are mostly found in groups of 3 or 5 near water
Find a jerboa. Strike it with basically anything you can get your hands on and it'll go to sleep. Tame it and enjoy! The weather patterns are:
Looking up and hurming- sandstorm
Growling with tail extended- lightning
Growling with digging- heatwave
Sniffing air with odd…

Sniffing air with odd eurble noise- rain. The last one is my favorite, as it fills all your reservoirs. You don't have any? Make em quick!
These little guys do not like Fjordur. If you bring them over they will be constantly growling. Probably because of the new weather events. I hope this gets patched soon because I miss bringing a jerboa with me everywhere
You can put a helmet on it, every kind except for tek. the miners helmet looks cute, Especially if you put nerdy glasses on it.
An easy way to tame is a bola, and one singular toxic arrow. (I recommend starve taming)
I wanted to find these in dungeons, but if I died, I would go back to a save right before I went into the dungeon or something. I believe its a save setting but I dont know how or where it is, and im afraid I will mess up my save by tinkering. I would like some help with this…

If you have an answer, please put it in the jerboa section under encountering so I can locate it, as well if you could put QUESTION at the top. Thank you all for reading!
Keep one at the base so that anyone at base came alert the tribe of th common weather affects. There are better shoulder tames to have.
If you're a noob starting scorched earth get a couple of these on aggressive in your base so you know who raided you, so tell alpha or hit them back when you build up.
Horrifying.. simply horrifying when you encounter it
Irl they are actually rodents but Ark made them look like kittens of foxes
