Kangaroo rats are not even remotely related to kangaroos, or rat-kangaroos of Australia. Kangaroo rats are members of the rodent family, not marsupials like kangaroos. They do not have pouches, and they do not live in Australia. Kangaroo rats are found in North America, and inhabit deserts and semi-arid grasslands.
