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.
Kangaroo rats predators are hawks, coyotes, foxes, owls, and rattlesnakes, among others. In more populated areas cats and dogs are unfortunately a major predator of kangaroo rats. A current problem these creatures are facing is being displaced by people building in their habitat and forcing them out.

Kangaroo rats are rodents. which 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). Like their namesake, they can leap huge distances for their size because of their powerful back legs. Kangaroo rats are not even remotely related to kangaroos, or rat-kangaroos of Australia.
