The kangaroo rat is a member of the order Rodentia and family Hetermyidae. The Merriam's kangaroo rat and the Bannertail kangaroo rat are the most commonly studied species. The name “kangaroo rat” originates from descriptions of this animal's hind limb structure and characteristic hopping patterns. The kangaroo rat's hind legs and feet are long and powerful, especially the skull. Unlike other members of the family Hetermyidae, the cheek teeth of Dipodomys (kangaroo rats) grow continuously. Kangaroo rat shave external fur-lined cheek pouches, as well as dermal sebaceous glands that are located in the intrascapular region of the back. The chapter further studies the nutrition, diseases, uses in research, and laboratory care of the kangaroo rat.
