The Banner-tailed Kangaroo Rat is a species of rodent found in Mexico and Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the United States.

Even though their diet consists of mostly dry seeds, the Kangaroo rat has almost no need for water. Instead they survive almost entirely on the water metabolized from seeds that are eaten. Kangaroo rats can extract a half gram of water out of every gram of seeds consumed. Their kidneys reduce and concentrate their urine to almost a crystal-like consistency, greatly reducing the amount of water that is lost. Kangaroo Rats don't even need water to bathe. Instead they will take a dust bath by rolling around in the sand.
