The word gerbil is a diminutive form of  jerboa , though the jerboas are an unrelated group of rodents occupying a similar ecological niche. One Mongolian species, Meriones unguiculatus, also known as the clawed jird, is a gentle and hardy animal that has become a popular pet.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a type of surgery that enables doctors to view the inside of the chest cavity after making only very small incisions. The doctor can examine the outside surface of the lung and the inner surface of the chest wall through a camera attached to the scope.
Did you know that VATS is actually an acronym that stands for Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System? Vault-Tec is good for something, it seems! VATS returns from Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas to appear again in Fallout 4, but with some significant changes. The biggest change is that VATS no longer pauses the game fully once you use it.
