Solution

Kangaroo Rat:

  1. The kangaroo rat spends the majority of the day in the shade and only comes out to eat in the late evening when it is much cooler.
  2. It primarily consumes grass and seeds, from which it gets its vital nutrients.
  3. It can survive without water as it is equipped with a metabolic system that produces enough water internally to fulfill all needs.
  4. However, if a kangaroo rat drinks water, the necessary bodily liquids and vitamins are flushed out, and it dies as a result of dehydration.
