Fact of the Week: May 3, 2015

The Kangaroo Rat is so well adapted that it drinks no water even though it lives in a desert. It gets most of the water it needs from the seeds it eats. It also a has very efficient kidney and conserves as much water as it can from its urine, that it urinates a crystalline substance.
