While most desert animals will drink water if confronted with it, for many of them the opportunity never
comes. Yet all living things have water, or they will expire. The herbivores find it in desert plants. The carnivores
slave their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey. One of the most remarkable adjustments, however, has been
made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about
5% free water. Like other animals, he has the ability to manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of
carbohydrates. But he is notable for the parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by every possible
means, expending only minuscule amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratorytract.
Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various experiments with
these small animals. Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and slowly utilize these resources in the
long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The simplest way to settle this question was to

A. Preservation B. Renewal C. Examination D. Withholding
