The kangaroo rat hoards seeds, hops on outsized hind legs, and survives the desert without ever drinking. Charles Vorhies and Walter Taylor tracked its habits, burrows, and range across Arizona in careful detail. A close study of one of the drylands' most ingenious survivors. Follow the little jumper across the sand.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
