Relatively little information has been published on the natural history, life history, ecology, or behavior of the agile kangaroo rat.

The agile kangaroo rat, Dipodomys agilis, is a species of rodent in the family Heteromyidae.

Dipodomys agilis (Agile kangaroo rat)

Small mammals that are less often seen include the Dusky-Footed Woodrat and the Agile Kangaroo Rat.

It occurs sympatrically with the agile kangaroo rat, but tends to prefer few shrubs and gravelly soils to the agile's preference for denser shrubs.
