Solution
Kangaroo rat
The tiny kangaroo rat located in the south-western deserts of the United States does not drink water for its whole lifespan.
Kangaroo rats represent an integral part of desert life.
Sometimes, other species eat them for the water in their bodies.
The rats can run very fast, covering 6 metres in one second, thanks to their long strong legs and the robust tail that resemble those of the kangaroo so they are labelled the kangaroo rats.
They grow in length to about 38 cm, including a tail that is 20 cm long.
