Jerboa

Jerboa may be little, but when it comes to culture he's an absolute giant. Ballets, operas, plays — if there's a stage, he's in the front row, usually perched right on the edge of his seat.

The only snag? For someone so small, he has a remarkable talent for blocking the view, his ever-alert ears eclipsing entire scenes for the rows behind. Still, nobody can stay cross with him for long — his enthusiasm is far too infectious. A true patron of the arts, even if he really ought to sit a few rows further back.
