If we look to the kangaroo rat, however, we can see that evolution has equipped this animal with a host of amazing adaptations to help it conserve precious water in its desert environment. First we turn to the kangaroo rat’s nose, through which it breathes. The rat’s nasal passages are...

The various species of kangaroo rats exhibit numerous differences in physical appearance, adaptations and behavior. The San Joaquin kangaroo rat(D. nitratoide)can be distinguished from other kangaroo rats within its geographic range by the presence of 4 toes on its hind feet; other species in the...
We present the genome sequence of the tammar wallaby, Macropus eugenii, which is a member of the kangaroo family and the first representative of the iconic hopping mammals that symbolize Australia to be sequenced. The tammar has many unusual biological c
Kangaroos have developed a number of adaptations to a dry, infertile continent and a highly variable climate. As with all marsupials, the young are born at a very early stage of development after a gestation of 31-36 days. At this stage, only the forelimbs are somewhat developed, to allow...

Kangaroos come in a variety of sizes and species, ranging from the diminutive Musky Rat-kangaroo, which is only about the size of a large rat, to the towering Red Kangaroo, the largest of the kangaroospecies. Despite their size differences, all kangaroos share certain key characteristics, such...
