Rat kangaroos do not migrate. No Australian marsupial migrates. They will move to where the food is, but this is not the same as migrating.
No. The kangaroo rat is not a pouched mammal, or marsupial. The kangaroo rat is completely unrelated to the marsupil known as the kangaroo; nor is it related to the rat-kangaroo, the smaller species of kngaroos.
The best known example is the kangaroo rat which can go its entire life without drinking liquid water.
The smallest rat-kangaroo is the Musky rat-kangaroo, which measures from 15 - 27 cm in length.
Correct. The kangaroo rat (which, incidentally, is a quite different species to the rat-kangaroo of Australia) drink water very rarely. They are able to obtain most of their moisture needs from the food they eat. They also have a very water-efficient metabolism which inhibits moisture loss from their bodies.
There are many different species of rat kangaroo, so the scientific name is different for each species. For example;The scientific name for the musky rat kangaroo, the smallest of all kangaroo species, is Hypsiprymnodon moschatus.The scientific name for the rufous rat-kangaroo is Aepyprymnus rufescens.The Desert rat kangaroo, or Buff-nosed rat kangaroo is Caloprymnus campestris.The Brush-tailed rat kangaroo is Bettongia penicillata.
A kangaroo rat has a body covering of fur.
A kangaroo rat is brown, black and can sometimes be white.
Musky rat-kangaroo was created in 1876.
