Kangaroo rats can live their whole lives without drinking water. They get water from the seeds they eat and save it with ultra-efficient kidneys.

Fresno Kangaroo Rat Dipodomys nitratoides

It is endemic to areas within and near the San Joaquin Valley of California in the United States. Habitat destruction due to agricultural development and urbanization has put this species at risk. The species is nocturnal and shows maximum activity levels shortly after sunset.
