Pocket Mice And Kangaroo Rats (Family Heteromyidae) : This largest of the pocket mice in Kansas can be distinguished from other species in the state by its coarse, instead of soft, fur. The upper parts of its body are brownish-gray and black, with a broad buffy lateral line from the nose to the hind foot separating the upperparts from the white underparts. The tail is bicolored, black above and white below, and is shorter than the head and body; it lacks a terminal tuft. The ears are dusky inside and buffy on the outside and edges. The large hind feet have naked soles. External cheek pouches are fur-lined.
