		Hoffmann (26) believed that competition with Dipodomys heermanni, a larger, more widely distributed species which uses a broader range of plant communities, might be an important factor in extirpation of Fresno kangaroo rats from sites impacted heavily by grazing.
		Warner and Koos (13,14) reported that heavy grazing adversely impacted populations of Fresno kangaroo rats, and was a significant threat to extant populations in remaining habitat.
		Competition with the larger species, Dipodomys heermanni, was considered to be an additional factor in the decline of Fresno kangaroo rat populations on heavily grazed land.

		Several species of kangaroo rat can be seen in southern Arizona including Dipodomys spectabilis, the banner-tailed kangaroo rat; Dipodomys merriami, Merriam kangaroo rat, and Dipodomys ordii, the Ord kangaroo rat, which has the widest range.
		All of these kangaroo rats use their large hind legs and tail for propelling themselves as they leap about and use their smaller upper limbs primarily for gathering food and digging in the loose soil to help in clearing tunnels.
