I’m well aware of the EPA and the kangaroo rat, but this took place in Baja California (Mexico). So that had nothing to do with it.

Thank you very much for sending those links. However, when dealing with Kangaroo Rats, the specific species must be very important, or so say the scientists. In two of these articles, they are concerned about the Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat which may be breeding like rabbits these days. The other article is about the Tipton Kangaroo Rat.

Our little story is about the San Quintin Kangaroo Rat, nothing to do with the other little kangaroo rats. I’m guessing that people who live around kangaroo rats better become experts at distinguishing the various species. If you run over with your brush hog a herd of San Quintin kangaroo rats that you thought were Stephen’s kangaroo rats it could become a Federal case.
