What is a date palm and a jerboa?

A date palm is a tree species, scientifically known as Phoenix dactylifera, that produces edible fruits called dates, commonly found in arid regions. It is characterized by its tall, slender trunk and fan-like fronds. A jerboa, on the other hand, is a small desert rodent belonging to the family Dipodidae, known for its long hind legs and ability to hop like a kangaroo. Jerboas are adapted to arid environments and are primarily nocturnal, using their agility to evade predators.
