They are found in sandy
loam soils supporting
sparse annual grass/forb
vegetation, and marginally
found in low-density alkali
desert scrub.
* It needs food.
* They need level terrain and
sandy loam soils for burrowing.
* Water is apparently not
necessary.
It eats seeds like
peppergrass and filaree, it
also eats green vegetables
especially in the spring.
Seeds are buried in small
shallow holes in the winter
and spring where they dry.
It fits in the food web as a
1st order consumer
because it eats plants and
seeds, and it is food for
other animals like the Kit
They live in the western part of
California, in places like the
San Joaquin Valley, Carrizo
Plain, and Panoche Valley
The U.S. Fish And
Wildlife Service is an
organization that is
helping the giant
kangaroo rat from
extinct from the
biosphere
Organizations like the U.S. Fish
And Wildlife Services are
helping by breeding the animals
in captivity and then letting
them go back into their natural
habitat, they are also creating
or coming up with different
campaigns to try and tell
humans to stop destroying de
Giant Kangaroo rat’s habitat.
We can help create more
“communities” in different
places so that the organisms
can develop more organisms
and this way try and make
them come back again.
We should save the species
because they are beautiful
organisms that deserve to
live like we all do, we think
that any kind of species that
we have in our world is
useful and helpful to make
this places very diverse and
very beautiful.
We can save the species by
preserving their natural
habitats, stop destroying the
place where they live. We
can support all the stuff that
the U.S. Fish And Wildlife
Service are sponsoring , we
can stop killing this
organisms or hunt them for
“fun”
It is possible in today’s
world, but it is very hard
to achieve because
even though we should
save the species, not
everyone wants to help
or they are too lazy to
do it. But we think that if
we all try, we’ll be able
to help this species
survive.
