The Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides) is one of three subspecies of the San Joaquin kangaroo rat, morphologically distinguished by being larger than the Fresno kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides exilis) and smaller than the short-nosed kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides brevinasus), a species of concern. Tipton males average around 9 1/4 inches. San Joaquin kangaroo rats can be distinguished from other kangaroo rats within their range by the presence of four toes on the hind foot; other species have five toes.
