Their tails give them a larger surface area, so they can cool off faster.

They have fur on the bottom of their back feet to protect them from the heat of the sand.

The gerbils have a thin layer of fur on their body to protect them from sunburn.

Can gerbils swim?

Common pet gerbils are the Mongolian gerbil. Since they live in Mongolia, they are semi-desert animals. They don't see pools of water often. I have never seen one swim or drown, but from what I've seen they definitely don't like it but can do their best at swimming. They will try to get out as soon as possible. Do NOT put a gerbil in a pool of water. It would be quite mean.
