GIANT Kangaroo rat was first discovered as endangered this is all i can answer sorry
Most species of kangaroo rat are endangered, and therefore they cannot be kept as pets in any state.
There is little difference. The Giant Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys ingens) is just one of over 20 species in the genus Dipodomys, all of which are kangaroo rats. The Giant Kangaroo Rat is critically endangered, and now restricted to just a small area in western central California.
The musky rat kangaroo is the smallest of all species of kangaroo. Despite its tiny size and the fact that it is limited to far northern Australia, its conservation status is "least concern".
'cause they only have 2% of there natraul habitat left.

Version 2010.4.Federal and state (particularly California) listings do differ from the IUCN Red List, particularly with regard to certain sub-species.yes kangeroo rats are endangered
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 smallest rat-kangaroo is the Musky rat-kangaroo, which measures from 15 - 27 cm in length.
The giant kangaroo rat, a native of California, is endangered, yes, but because much of its habitat has been taken over by human activity, not from the effects of global warming. Its habitat has been reduced to less than 4% of what it was, and the population is widely scattered, existing in little groups.
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.
