Australian desert mice: independence of exogenous water.

R E MacMillen, A K Lee.   

Abstract

Certain Australian desert mice can survive and may gain weight on a diet of dry seed without drinking water. Urine concentrations for two of the three species studied are the highest recorded for mammals. The kidneys appear to be the major avenue of water conservation.
