kandúr

Kandur is a term that can refer to several things, most notably a type of animal and a given name.

In zoology, kandúr is often used to refer to certain species of jerboas, small desert rodents known for their long hind legs and hopping locomotion. These animals are typically found in arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. They are nocturnal, emerging at dusk to forage for seeds, insects, and other vegetation. Their adaptations for desert life include efficient water conservation and the ability to move quickly to escape predators.

As a given name, Kandur is a masculine name of Turkish origin. It is a less common name but is used in some cultures. Its meaning is not widely documented in common etymological resources.

The specific meaning or context of "kandúr" can vary depending on the region and the field of reference. Without further context, it is most commonly associated with the jerboa species or the Turkish given name.
