Kangaroo rats efficiently conserve water through several adaptations. They have specialized kidneys that produce highly concentrated urine, minimizing water loss. Additionally, they obtain moisture from the seeds they consume and are primarily nocturnal, reducing water loss through respiration and evaporation during the cooler night hours. Their burrowing behavior also helps maintain hydration by creating a more humid microenvironment.
