Kangaroo rats are rodents. They are rat-like mammals with long tails and large feet like a miniature kangaroo. However, they are very much smaller than kangaroos, with Giant kangaroo rats having a body length of only 15cm (6 inches). 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. They do not need to drink water, obtaining most of their moisture needs from the seeds they eat. The Australian equivalent of kangaroo rats are known as native hopping mice, but they are not at all related either.
There is no such creature as the Australian kangaroo rat. The kangaroo rat is a rodent found in North America. Australia has rat kangaroos, which are marsupials belonging to the kangaroo family.
A degu is simply a cross between a kangaroo-rat and a gerbil. A kangaroo-rat isn't a kangaroo and a rat, it's just a type of rat; just like a pitbull is a type of dog... not it's own species. It's a member of the rodent family. So if you consider rodents mammals, then yes... it's a mammal.
No. The kangaroo rat is a rodent, so it does not have a pouch. It is not related at all to kangaroos. Only marsupials have pouches. The Australian rat kangaroo, a quite different creature, does have a pouch.
No. Rodents are placental mammals and kangaroos are marsupials. The two are not even remotely related. Confusion can arise from the fact that there are kangaroo rats, which are rodents of North America, and rat-kangaroos which are marsupials, and members of the kangaroo family in Australia.
