Dipodomys ordii are the most widespread of all Kangaroo rats. They are found through much of western North America from Saskatchewan to Mexico. The Kansas plains, Great Sandhills of Sakatchewan and the California sagebrush are all common habitats. (Banfield 1974; La Flamme 2000)
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Native )
Ord's kangaroo rats do not adversely affect humans over most of their range. However in areas of Texas, D. ordii are reputed to do damage by gathering the seeds of newly planted crops (Davis and Schmidly 1994).
Negative Impacts: crop pest
Ord's kangaroo rats are one of the most common kangaroo rats. In western Canada, however, D. ordii is considered vulnerable.
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
In encounters with particularily threating predators, D. ordii will turn around and face away from the enemy and use their hind legs to spray sand into the enemy's eyes. D. ordii can evade predators with long jumps measuring up to 2 meters long.
Total length ranges from 210-365 mm in males, and 208-360 mm in females. Tail length is, on average, 129 mm in males and 127 mm in females. The long tail is dark on top with two white bands on each side tapering to a grey tuft of longer hairs at the end. Ord's kangaroo rats have small forelimbs and long, strong hindlegs which are modified for jumping (Feldner 1996; Walker 1975).
Coloration of the long silky fur is rich and tawny on top with a scattering of black hairs along the middorsal line. D. ordii have distict white markings which include underparts of the feet, upper lip, spots above the eyes and across the hips.
There are no pelage differences between males and females but there are seasonal variations in weight for all D. ordii. Their weight peaks around mating season (Banfield 1974).
Range mass: 55 to 96 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes alike
Average basal metabolic rate: 0.339 W.
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 9.8 years.
D. ordii can be found on the riverbanks and the Great Sand Hills of Saskatchewan, throughout the Kansas plains, and the deserts of the southwestern United States (Banfield 1974; La Flamme 2000; Walker 1975).
In general, D. ordii prefers arid climates with sparse vegetation covering the sandy ground. Open ground is better for this animal, as it has been observed that an increase in grass cover leads to a decrease in population. Their burrows are rarely located in hard and gravelly soils and they are one of the few animals that are able to establish in shifting dunes (Banfield 1974; Davis and Schmidly 1994).
Habitat Regions: temperate ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: desert or dune ; savanna or grassland
Other Habitat Features: agricultural
Kangaroo rats have a keen sense of smell, extraordinary hearing, and good night vision.
D. ordii individuals have an oil secreting gland located between the shoulders. They bathe regularily in sand to prevent the fur from becoming oily and matted. Secretions from the gland also allow D. ordii to distinguish individuals and sexes (Walker 1975).
Ord's kangaroo rats rarely make any vocal calls, the sounds that are made are usually soft squeaks. Instead they use their hind legs to make loud thumping noises in their burrow when the entrance is disturbed (Feldner 1996; Walker 1975).

The diet of Ord's kangaroo rats is primarily composed of seeds. These seeds are gathered in fur lined cheek pouches for transport back to their burrows for storage. D. ordii forage for up to 25 yards from their burrow entrance. In the summer, D. ordii also feed on grasshoppers and moths. Water retention is very efficient in Ord's kangaroo rats and they use the water produced from metabolism for their bodily requirements. As a result, they have very little need for water consumption and will only drink water when absolutely necessary.
(Feldner 1996; Walker 1975)

D. ordii are solitary animals that will only let potential mates approach during the mating seasons in spring and fall. Exact timing of mating seasons varies geographically. Females breed only when there is a favorable moist season, few breed during drought.
During estrus, which lasts for a few days, this species will pursue each other playfully. With an approximate gestation period of a month and sexual maturity at 2 months, the population can expand rapidly after a favorable season. (Banfield 1974)
Breeding interval: Ord's kangaroo rats breed when conditions are appropriate, with abundant food sources for both mother and young.
Breeding season: Breeding seasons are typically in the spring and fall, but vary throughout the range of Ord's kangaroo rats.

Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii) is a kangaroo rat native to western North America, specifically the Great Plains and the Great Basin, with its range extending from extreme southern Canada to central Mexico.[2][3]
Ord's kangaroo rat has a fifth toe on its hind feet, which distinguishes it from Dipodomys elator. It is bicolored with gold-brown dorsal hair and a white stomach. It has a long tail with a bushy tip, and is dark dorsally and ventrally with a white lateral stripe. Its hind feet are modified for jumping, and exceed 35 mm in length, and its total length exceeds 240 mm. Its tail is usually less than 160 mm, distinguishing it from D. elator (which exceeds 160 mm).
Though a common species in the United States, the population in Canada is considered endangered.[4]
The currently accepted scientific name for Ord's kangaroo rat is Dipodomys ordii Woodhouse. It belongs to the family Heteromyidae, kangaroo rats and mice. Hall[5] listed 35 subspecies, but Kennedy and Schnell reported many of these subspecies are probably not legitimate since they were based on the assumption of little sexual dimorphism in the species. It has now been established that sexual dimorphism within the taxon is considerable.[6]
Ord's kangaroo rat ranges from southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan to southern Hidalgo, Mexico, and from central Oregon and eastern California east to central Kansas and Oklahoma.[7]
Ord's kangaroo rats occur mainly in semiarid, open habitats. In Nevada, they were trapped in desert scrub and gravelly soil, flat pebble desert, and washes.[8] In Utah, Ord's kangaroo rats have an affinity for open shrublands and grasslands on sandy soils.[7] In southeastern Idaho, big sagebrush/crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) range, most Ord's kangaroo rat captures occurred on disturbed sites or areas of sparse cover: Russian thistle (Salsola kali), cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), and green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), followed by disturbed areas seeded to crested wheatgrass, then undisturbed big sagebrush.[9] In western South Dakota, Ord's kangaroo rats are associated with black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns.[10] In Wyoming, Ord's kangaroo rats are abundant in sand dune communities where vegetation is greater than 10 inches (25 cm) tall and bare soil exceeds 40%.[7] In Colorado, Ord's kangaroo rats were primarily captured in open areas with firm soil. Firm or lightly compacted soils are needed for burrow construction; highly compacted soils are too hard for them to dig.[11] In areas of desert pavement or tough clay soils in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas, Ord's kangaroo rats are confined to pockets of windblown sand and alluvial soils along arroyos.[12]
Strong intraspecific competition and little interspecific competition occurs among Dipodomys species.[13] In New Mexico, where Ord's kangaroo rats are sympatric with Merriam's kangaroo rats (D. merriamii), Ord's kangaroo rats were mostly captured in grassy microhabitats, and Merriam's kangaroo rats were captured more often around creosotebush.[13] Herbicide defoliation of shrubs (for rangeland improvement) reduced live canopy cover of creosotebush and resulted in an increase in bush muhly (Muhlenbergia porteri). After treatment, Ord's kangaroo rats replaced Merriam's kangaroo rats as the dominant rodent. This was suggested to be due to the change in habitat structure to open grass.[14]
Removal experiments to establish single species populations of kangaroo rats were unsuccessful, since many kangaroo rats are transient and quickly occupy vacated habitats.[13] Only one adult occupies a given burrow system, except for a brief period during breeding activity. Little territoriality occurs above ground except near burrow entrances, which are defended.[8]
In New Mexico, Ord's kangaroo rat annual home ranges in mesquite averaged 3.35 acres (1.36 hectares).[7] In Nevada sagebrush/grassland, Ord's kangaroo rat home ranges were estimated as 1.53 acres (0.62 hectares) by the circular method and 1.06 acres (0.43 hectares) by the principal component method. Home range movements increased through spring and again in late fall and early winter. No significant difference was found between male and female Ord's kangaroo rat home ranges; however, female home ranges decreased during reproductive periods.[15] Recapture data for Ord's kangaroo rats in Arizona indicated they do not travel far from the home range; most Ord's kangaroo rats were recaptured within 165 ft (50 m) of the original capture site. Data on the lifetime movements of individuals indicated most were recaptured within 330 feet (100 m) of the original capture site.[16]
In sagebrush in the Great Basin, Ord's kangaroo rats reach an average density of 113 rats per 10 ha.[17] In intermountain salt-desert shrublands, the population density averaged 28 individuals per 10 ha in shadscale communities and 135 individuals per 10 ha in black greasewood (Sarcobatus vermiculatus) communities.[18]
Ord's kangaroo rats occur in communities on sandy soils, including semiarid grasslands, mixed-grass prairie, shrub- and scrublands, and pinyon (Pinus spp.)-juniper (Juniperus spp.) woodlands.[7] In Canada, They are confined to open, sandy areas with sparse covers of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), snowberry (Symphoricarpos spp.), rose (Rosa spp.), creeping juniper (J. horizontalis) and buffaloberry (Shepherdia spp.); the distribution of Ord's kangaroo rats appears to be closely associated with that of lanceleaved breadroot (Psoralea lanceolata).[19] In Oregon, Ord's kangaroo rats occur in big sagebrush (A. tridentata), western juniper (J. occidentalis), and greasewood (Sarcobatus spp.) communities. In Idaho, they are most abundant in juniper woodlands with rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus spp.) and winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata) in the understory,[7] but also occur on shadscale (Atriplex confertifolia) range.[20] In Utah, Ord's kangaroo rats have an affinity for sagebrush, pinyon-juniper, and saltbush (Atriplex spp.) communities.[7] In Nevada, Ord's kangaroo rats are associated with big sagebrush communities.[21] In Colorado, Ord's kangaroo rats comprised 19% of small mammal captures in pinyon-juniper forest, scattered pinyon-juniper, and pinyon-juniper in canyon habitats.[11] In New Mexico, Ord's kangaroo rats are found in yucca (Yucca spp.), oak (Quercus spp.), mesquite (Prosopis spp.), saltbush, and creosotebush (Larrea tridentata) communities.[7][22] They are particularly abundant in mesquite sand dunes.[23] In Texas, Ord's kangaroo rats occur in honey mesquite (P. glandulosa), sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), yucca, sand shinnery oak (Q. havardii), and broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae) communities.[7] In southwestern Kansas, Ord's kangaroo rats are characteristic residents of sand sagebrush prairie.[24]
Even in shrub-dominated communities, heteromyids including Ord's kangaroo rat tend to concentrate their activity in open areas between shrubs.[25]
Ord's kangaroo rats dig shallow burrows in loose sand in the sides of natural sand dunes, riverbanks, or road cuts. The one central burrow is surrounded by trails to feeding areas.[19] The burrows have 3-in-diameter (7.6-cm-dia) openings. Small mounds are usually formed outside the entrance to the burrow.[26] The burrow opening is usually plugged with soil during the day to maintain temperature and humidity within tolerable levels.[7][27] They scoop out small, shallow depressions to be used as dusting spots.[26]
Ord's kangaroo rats are nocturnal, and spend their days in deep burrows.[26] Males are usually more abundant and active than females. Activity increases under cloud cover, particularly in winter.[7] Ord's kangaroo rats are active year-round in Texas, but further north, they are seldom seen above ground in cold weather.[26]
Ord's kangaroo rat breeding season varies with subspecies and area. Usually, one or two peak breeding seasons occur per year, and in many areas, some breeding activity occurs year-round.[7][28] The size of ovaries is significantly positively correlated with temperature.[7] The average length of the breeding period is 6.8 months. In Texas, males are fertile all year, with peak reproductive activity occurring between August and March. Higher reproductive rates are associated with increased precipitation and food supply and decreased population density. In a favorable growing season, most females breed at least twice a year, but when population density increased, females did not breed until November though growing conditions and food supplies were favorable.[29] In Arizona, the lowest proportion of males in breeding condition (about 60% of the male population) occurred in January and September–October. The lowest number of females in breeding condition occurred in November, but at least a few females were breeding at that time.[30] In Oklahoma, the two peaks in breeding activity are August–September and December through March.[31] In many areas, the onset of breeding activity follows a period of rainfall the previous month.[7]
Gestation lasts 28 to 32 days; one to six embryos are usually found. In captivity, the maximum litter size was six young.[7] The maximum number of litters produced per year by a captive female was five, the maximum number of litters per lifetime was 9, and the maximum number of young per female's lifetime was 38. The longest-lived Ord's kangaroo rat in captivity is a wild caught female who lived until 9 yr 1 months. Brown and Zeng calculated an annual death rate of 0.35 for all age classes.[16]
Ord's kangaroo rats are primarily granivorous and herbivorous. They consume a variety of foods, but most commonly eat the seeds of grasses and forbs, green vegetation, and dry vegetation. They occasionally consume animal material, mostly arthropods. In Colorado, seeds comprised 74% of their diets, forbs 13%, grasses and sedges 5%, arthropods 4%, and fungi and mosses 2%.[7]
In southeastern Idaho big sagebrush/crested wheatgrass range, Ord's kangaroo rats consumed (in order of proportion) pollen, arthropods, plant parts (Asteraceae) and crested wheatgrass seeds.[9] A study of Ord's kangaroo rat foods in Texas found the primary foods consumed included seeds of sand paspalum (Paspalum stramineum), honey mesquite, sand bluestem (Andropogon gerardii var. paucipilus), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and rose-ring gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella).[32] In Texas, seeds of creosotebush, gramas (Bouteloua spp.) and dropseeds (Sporobolus spp.) formed the major portion of Ord's kangaroo rat diets.[12] Seeds of mesquite, Russian-thistle, sunflowers (Helianthus spp.), and sandbur (Cenchrus spp.) are also major dietary items.[26]
Harvested seeds are transported in cheek pouches to burrows and consumed or cached there. Ord's kangaroo rats also cache seed in scattered shallow holes; this activity sometimes results in seedling emergence. They are easily able to retrieve shallowly buried seeds. A single Ord's kangaroo rat may make tens to hundreds of caches, each with tens to hundreds of seeds.[33]
Kangaroo rats are physiologically adapted to arid environments. Most water is obtained from seeds and succulent plants. They drink water when it is available, but apparently do not require free water.[19][34]
In the Great Basin sagebrush, intermountain sagebrush steppe, and intermountain salt desert shrublands, potential predators of Ord's kangaroo rats include coyotes (Canis latrans), kit fox (Vulpes velox), bobcats (Lynx rufus), badgers (Taxidea taxus), long-eared owls (Asio otus), short-eared owls (Asio flammeus), great horned owls (Bubo virginianus), burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia), hawks (Buteonidae and Falconidae), rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp.), and gopher snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus).[17][18][35] In Idaho, the remains of Ord's kangaroo rats were found in up to 25% of prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) nests. The three-year average frequency of Ord's kangaroo rat remains in prairie falcon nests was 4%.[36]

Multimedia w Wikimedia Commons Szczuroskoczek białostopy[3] (Dipodomys ordii) – gatunek ssaka z rodziny karłomyszowatych występujący w zachodniej Ameryce Północnej od Saskatchewan w Kanadzie na północy do środkowego Meksyku na południu.
Najchętniej żyje na piaszczystym podłożu pokrytym rzadką roślinnością.
Mierzy 21-36,5 cm, samce są nieco większe od samic. Masa ciała wynosi 55-96 g. Futro płowe, z licznymi czarnymi włosami. Długi ogon mierzący ok. 13 cm jest ciemny, po obu jego bokach biegną jasne pasy. Na końcu znajduje się kępka dłuższych włosów. Na stopach, biodrach i wokół oczu białe plamki.
Prowadzą nocny, samotny tryb życia. Poza sezonem rozrodczym nie tolerują innych osobników swego gatunku. Dnie spędzają w norach wykopanych za pomocą tylnych łap. Poruszają się w dwojaki sposób – chodzą na czterech łapach, lub skaczą na tylnych, podobnie jak kangury (potrafią jednym skokiem przebyć odległość do 2 m). Mają wyostrzone zmysły węchu i słuchu, dobrze także widzą w nocy. Żywią się głównie ziarnem, potrafią transportować jedzenie do nory w workach policzkowych. Latem dietę uzupełniają świerszczami i ćmami. Piją bardzo rzadko, wodę czerpią głównie z pożywienia.
Zwierzęta rozmnażają się zazwyczaj wiosną i jesienią, dokładny czas zależy od dostępności pożywienia. Ciąża trwa około miesiąca, młode już po dwóch miesiącach osiągają dojrzałość płciową.
Dipodomys orgii należy do najbardziej rozpowszechnionych szczuroskoczków. Jego populacja jest liczna, poza zachodnią Kanadą, gdzie liczba osobników wyraźnie spada. Przed naturalnymi wrogami zwierzę broni się ucieczką. Potrafi także za pomocą tylnych nóg sypnąć drapieżnikowi piaskiem w oczy.

Dipodomys ordii[2][3][4][5][6][7] är en däggdjursart som beskrevs av Samuel Washington Woodhouse 1853. Dipodomys ordii ingår i släktet känguruspringmöss, och familjen påsmöss.[8][9] IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig.[1] Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.[8] Wilson & Reeder (2005) skiljer mellan 32 underarter.[4]
Arten blir med svans 23,3 till 28,2 cm lång och svanslängden är 13,1 till 16,7 cm. Bakfötterna är 3,9 till 4,5 cm långa och vikten varierar mellan 36 och 96 g. Djuret har fem fingrar respektive fem tår vid fram- och baktassarna men bakfotens stortå nå sällan marken när djuret hoppar.[10] Ovansidan är täckt av mjuk päls som är rödbrun-orange (liksom hos en rådjursunge) och undersidan är vitaktig. Dessutom finns vita märken vid läpparna, ovanför ögonen samt på höfterna. Artens svans har en mörk ovansida, en ljus undersida och en gråaktig tofs vid svansspetsen.[11]
Denna gnagare förekommer i centrala och västra Nordamerika från delstaterna i Kansas och Oklahoma öst till Oregon och Kalifornien i väst (alla USA). I norr når arten de kanadensiska delstaterna Alberta samt Saskatchewan och i syd sträcker sig utbredningsområdet till delstaten Hidalgo i Mexiko. Dipodomys ordii vistas i olika landskap med sandig jord. Växtligheten är bland annat gräs och buskar.[1]
Dipodomys ordii gräver underjordiska tunnelsystem där den bland annat lagrar föda. Individerna håller ingen vinterdvala. Trots allt är dödligheten under den kalla årstiden stor. I norra delen av utbredningsområdet överlever bara 10 till 20 procent av populationen fram till våren. Denna gnagare letar under natten efter föda och den syns bara undantagsvis på dagen utanför boet. När honan inte är brunstig lever varje exemplar ensam och de är aggressiva mot varandra vad som skiljer Dipodomys ordii från de flesta andra känguruspringmöss. Reviret är 0,4 till 1,0 hektar stort men individerna vistas främst i ett 0,15 till 0,25 hektar stort område.[10]
Boets ingångar som är ovala med en bred av 5,7 till 13,2cm och en höjd av 3,7 till 7,3cm stängs efter användning. Djuret lämnar sin avföring ofta nära boet eller ibland vid ställen där det finns mycket föda. För avföringen grävs en liten grop som sedan täcks med jord.[10]
Arten äter huvudsakligen gräs och örter. Under den varma årstiden ingår dessutom blad, rötter och unga växtskott i födan som ibland kompletteras med små ryggradslösa djur. Dipodomys ordii kan täcka hela sitt vätskebehov med födan men den dricker ibland vatten. Med hjälp av kindpåsarna bäras frön till boet som ett förråd för vintern. Ibland förekommer kannibalism, till exempel på de egna ungarna.[10]
Beroende på honans ålder har honan två till fyra kullar mellan våren och hösten. Hannarna strider mot varandra om rätten att para sig genom att slå med fötterna mot varandra, bett och skrapning med klorna. Dräktigheten varar 28 till 32 dagar och sedan föda upp till 6 ungar per kull. Vid födelsen är ungarna cirka 7 g tunga, nakna, blinda och döva. De diar sin mor cirka två till tre veckor och de blir allmänt efter tre till fyra månader könsmogna. Under särskilt goda förhållanden kan en hona para sig 47 dagar efter födelsen. I sydliga trakter där vinterdödligheten inte är lika stor sker den första parningen oftast under följande vår. Sjukliga ungar som inte kan jämra äts vanligen av modern.[10]
Ifall exemplaret klarar vintern kan det leva upp till fyra år i naturen. Individer i fångenskap levde upp till sju år.[10]
Dipodomys ordii är allmänt ganska tyst. Under striden skrapar varje hanne med tänderna mot varandra och den underlägsna parten avger ett kvittrande läte. Sedan har bara ungar tydliga läten. Antagligen trummar individerna med foten på marken för att varna varandra för faror, liksom hos andra släktmedlemmar.[10]
Denna gnagare faller offer för ugglor, ormar och olika vilda rovdjur. I sällsynta fall dödas den av hundar eller katter. Andra dödsorsaker är svält och jordbruksmaskiner som förstör djurets bo.[10]
