The desert kangaroo rat in Arizona eats plants but doesn’t drink water. Yet even in summer, it doesn’t suffer from dehydration. How do you think the rat’s digestive system helps it to obtain water to maintain homeostasis?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Its basically because of their adaptive features.

Explanation:

The kidneys of desert animals concentrate urine, so that they excrete less water.

Kangaroo rats and lizards, live in burrows which do not get too hot or too cold and have more humid (damp) air inside.

Since water is so scarce, most desert animals get their water from the food they eat: succulent plants, seeds.
