The Kangaroo Rat is exactly what is sounds like, a small rat-like rodent with kangaroo characteristics. With pouches built in its cheeks, enormous hind legs and lengthy tail, this tiny beast seems to be the perfect example of a bad-ass hybrid, yet it manages to remain cute as a button.
The “battle” at the end between the snake and the rat is just as cute- and here I thought the little guy was going to be killed on camera.
