Choose the incorrect statement with reference to Kangaroo rat.
- eliminates dilute urine.
- found in North America desert.
- meets its water requirements through internal fat oxidation.
- uses minimal water to remove execretory products.
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
Approach Solution -2
The correct answer is: (A) eliminates dilute urine.
The Kangaroo rat (Dipodomys) is a small nocturnal rodent native to North America, well adapted to desert life. It has several unique physiological and behavioral adaptations that allow it to survive in arid environments where water is scarce.
One of the key adaptations of the Kangaroo rat is its ability to conserve water. Instead of producing large amounts of dilute urine like many other animals, the Kangaroo rat produces highly concentrated urine. This minimizes water loss, allowing the animal to retain moisture in its body even in the absence of external water sources.
Therefore, the statement in option (A), which suggests that the Kangaroo rat eliminates dilute urine, is incorrect. In reality, the Kangaroo rat produces highly concentrated urine to conserve water.
