<p>Our look is the result of reader comments, our own
experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive
covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics,
breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.</p>
<p>The animal on the cover of <em class="citetitle">PNG: The
Definitive Guide</em> is a kangaroo rat. There are about 20 species
of kangaroo rat (genus <em class="emphasis">Dipodomys</em>, family <em
class="emphasis">Heteromyidae</em>) found in western North America. Some
of these species are endangered. These small mammals are equipped
with long, narrow feet that enable them to get about with long, strong
hops. They can travel as far as two meters per hop. Their tufted tails,
which are approximately as long as their bodies, are used as rudders. The
forearms of kangaroo rats are so short that they often disappear within
their fur. Most kangaroo rats have a color similar to the sand or soil
of their environment, with black or white facial markings and two stripes
running down the back. Albino kangaroo rats do occasionally appear. Like
all of their relatives in the <em class="emphasis">Heteromyidae</em>
family, kangaroo rats have large, fur-lined pouches in their cheeks into
which they stuff food to carry back to their nests. They eat grass,
plant greenery, and seeds. It is not uncommon to find evidence of a
visit by a kangaroo rat in vegetable gardens. Remarkably, they are able
to obtain all the water they need from the food that they eat. Kangaroo
rats are able to live their entire lives without ever drinking water.</p>
<p>Kangaroo rats are nocturnal animals. They tend to be antisocial
and belligerent. Kangaroo rat fights frequently occur. During these
fights they jump in the air and kick at each other with their powerful
legs. Kicking, in this case kicking sand, also comes in handy when
cornered by enemies such as rattlesnakes or coyotes. While the enemy
has sand in its eyes, the kangaroo rat makes his hopping getaway.</p>
<p>Kangaroo rats build their subterranean nests beneath small bushes or
trees. They line the nests with leaves or grass, and build in numerous
tunnels and escape outlets.</p>
