The kangaroo rat is a quite different creature to the rat-kangaroo of Australia. The kangaroo rat is found in deserts and semi-arid areas of North America, specifically western and south-western USA. Two species are found in the Great Basin Desert. They are well adapted to life in the desert, burrowing in the ground to escape the heat. They do not need to drink water but obtain all their moisture needs from the food they eat.
