The Fresno kangaroo rat or San Joaquin kangaroo rat, Dipodomys nitratoides, is a species of rodent in the family Heteromyidae.[2] It is endemic to areas within and near the San Joaquin Valley of California in the United States.[1] Habitat loss due to agricultural development and urbanization has put this species at risk.[1]
There are three subspecies of D. nitratoides;
- D. n. exilis (Fresno subspecies),
- D. n. nitratoides (Tipton subspecies),
- D. n. brevinasus (short-nose subspecies).[3]
