While reading one evening last week this Kangaroo rat moved through my camp. It was not too concerned about my presence so I managed to get this one picture. I believe it is a Merriam's Kangaroo Rat. If someone has another idea about the identification, let me know.
Your picture of a kangaroo rat brought back memories of a lovely evening in Big Bend National Park. I got to my primitive camp site after dark under a huge umbrella of stars. I just got out my camp stove, a pot, the top of my cook box and some noodles.
ReplyDeleteA kangaroo rat started running in ever small circles around my camp, finally trying to grap the wooden spoon. I kept my hand on my end but shared my noodles with him and had an appreciative supper guest.
