Kangaroo rats are highly adapted to arid environments and have evolved to survive without drinking water directly. Their kidneys are incredibly efficient at conserving water, allowing them to extract moisture from the seeds they eat. If they were to drink water, it could disrupt their highly specialized physiological processes and potentially lead to water toxicity, which may be harmful or even fatal. Thus, their survival strategy relies on avoiding direct water consumption altogether.
