night with q wonderful amethyst or
reddish glow. The external ears are
rather small, but wen adapted for both
underground and above ground life.
They have hooded tips to keep out
the dirt, and when the engineer Is
busily engaged In tunneling; making
the dust and dirt fly. there Is an
extra lobe that can be closed like q
valve.
The body of the kangaroo rat Is
short and compact. The front legs
are short and the feet weak. The
hind legs and feet are strong and
powerful. The tail Is very long, and
at its tip there Is q brush. The mar
ket baskets are the cheek pouches
external pockets, fur lined and used
for transporting seeds. The fur coat
Is s lovely, clear dark buff; lower
parts, feet, band across the hips. back
OF the ears and spots over the eyes.
as well as the tip of the tail, pure
white. The whiskers are long and
sensitive.
These famous mound dwellers ruin
. stock range. The tunnels make
places In which animals may step
and the amount Of food consumed by
these industrious seed harvesters is
unbelievable. The mounds are many
feet wide, and the patches are always
bare. There are many areas to be
seen in Arizona, about Tucson, and
in extreme western Texas, as well as
In southwestern New Mexico, where
these mounds are so conspicuous that
you notice them at once.
There are many entrances to the
mounds, and at first sight they ap-
pear to be very large for the size Of
the rat. When you see the owner
appear at his doorway, in q half up
right position, you can see why o
spacious doorway Is needed.
The Railways are many and intri-
cate, leading to and from the large
living room and smaller storage dens.
Paths are worn smooth and hard,
leading from the various doors. The
banner-tail hops along the path for
short distance, then gathers speed.
When gathering seeds he rakes them
In with his front feet and deftly fills
the pouches, which open from below
along the sides Of the lower jaws.
They are rather short and elastic, and
extend back under the skin to a line
with the ears. They hold about q
teaspoonful each, and they can be
emptied quickly and drawn back into
place. The fine hair lining keeps the
seeds from falling out.
Usually there are twins born In the
early Spring. Sometimes there are
four, but not often. They are blind,
naked and very helpless. When q
week old they are covered with lovely,
soft, velvety fur. and silver whiskers
add much to their beauty. When two
weeks old their eyes open and their
teeth are coming In. They grow fast
and the mother Is devoted to them.
They love to play, though their legs
are wabbly, but their tails are good
balancers. At an early age they learn
to keep themselves fastiduously clean,
and by the time they are two months
old have been thoroughly impressed
with the Importance Of industry.
Enemies that enter their homes are
the badgers, kit fox, bobcats, coyotes.
western horned owls, barn owls and
skunks. The speed of the kangaroo
rat Is all that saves his life from these
foes, as he Is only equipped to fight
his brethren.
