definition: A gerbil is a very small furry animal that looks a little like a mouse. Gerbils have furry tails, though, and mice don't. Gerbils live in the deserts of Africa and Asia, but some people keep them as pets in other parts of the world.
When Luis got a gerbil for a pet, everyone thought it was a mouse at first.
