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.
某些澳大利亚沙漠小鼠可以仅靠食用干燥种子而不饮水来生存，甚至可能增重。在所研究的三个物种中，有两个物种的尿液浓度是哺乳动物中记录到的最高值。肾脏似乎是节水的主要途径。
