The average length of a giant kangaroo rat, specifically the species Dipodomys ingens, is about 12 to 14 inches (30 to 36 centimeters) including its long tail. These rodents are known for their large hind legs and long tail, which aid in their jumping ability and balance. Their body length, excluding the tail, is typically around 5 to 7 inches (12 to 18 centimeters).
