Kangaroo rats, which are small rodents native to North America, have several physical and behavioural adaptations which help them survive in the arid and semi-arid areas of North America.

  • They feed on grains and other vegetation found in their habitat.
  • They dig burrows to shelter themselves from the heat of their environment. In order to survive the heat and dryness of their environment, kangaroo rats burrow into the dirt, in order to take away the top layer, which is heated by the Sun, to get to the cool dirt underneath.
  • They also obtain most of their moisture needs from the food they eat, and do not need to take in extra water.
