A to Z Blogging Challenge: K is For Kangaroo Rat

If you've never seen one of these little guys, they kind of remind me of the gerbils I had a few years ago. The are small rodents, with large back feet that they use for jumping around and pounding the ground to scare away other animals. Gerbils also have large back feet and pound their feet to get attention and when they are happy or irritated. I found this out when I had two of them a few years ago.

I think they are pretty cute little critters.
