Comparative analysis of Dipodomys species indicates that kangaroo rat hindlimb anatomy is adapted for rapid evasive leaping

Grace A. Freymiller et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that jump acceleration remains constant while jump distance increases with body size in kangaroo rats. The muscle mass and cross-sectional area of hind limbs are positively allometric, as well as the cross-sectional area of the ankle extensor tendon. However, hind limb segment length scales isometrically, with the exception of the metatarsals which scale with negative allometry.
