Gerbils are not related to kangaroos in any way. They are both mammals, but that is where their relationship ends. Gerbils are placental mammals and members of the order Rodentia, while kangaroos are marsupials and members of the order Diprotodontia.

What animals are related to the kangaroo rat?

Kangaroo rats are rodents, and therefore related to other rodents such as mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, porcupines, beavers, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and chinchillas. They are rat-like mammals with long tails and large feet like a miniature kangaroo. However, they are very much smaller than kangaroos, with Giant kangaroo rats having a body length of only 15cm (6 inches). They are not at all related to kangaroos or other marsupials.
