Kangaroo rats are little mammals that can jump up to a distance of 6 feet into the air. They are small rodents that fall into the family Heteromyidae. Adult kangaroo rats weigh over 70 to 170 grams. Just like squirrels, they have fur lined cheeks so that they can carry extra food. One thing that is amazing about these critters is that they can change direction mid-hop. They can conserve water by lowering their metabolism. In doing so, they reduce the loss of water through their skin and respiratory system. Kangaroo rats are hunted by coyotes, foxes, badgers, weasels, owls, and snakes.
