Head-body 126-134 mm, tail 122-199 mm, ear 12-17 mm, hindfoot 44-50 mm; weight 73-102 g. Male Nelson's Kangaroo Rats are slightly larger than females. This is a somewhat large kangaroo rat, with four toes on hindfeet. Upper parts are grizzled buff; tail is bicolored, with black crest and white tuft. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 72 and FN = 134. Nelson's Kangaroo Rat and the Banner-tailed Kangaroo Rat (

) can be distinguished in the north by plotting maxillary breadth against total skull length (Nelson’s Kangaroo Rat is smaller in both dimensions) and in the south by multivariate statistics (predominately greatest skull length, maxillary breadth, and length of maxillary tooth row); again, Nelson’s Kangaroo Rat is smaller in most dimensions.

), and various cacti. Large mounds made by Nelson’s Kangaroo Rats are conspicuous on desert flats, as large as 5 m in diameter and 0-8 m high, wellspaced (mean = 16 m, range 5-33 m) from each other, and often surrounded by bare ground for a radius up to 23 m. Burrow systems have as many as 20 entrances, and mounds are honeycombed with tunnels and can penetrate hard subsurface layers of rock. It is likely that burrow systems offer benefits similar to those of the related Banner-tailed Kangaroo Rat. Compared with neighboring subspecies of the Banner-tailed Kangaroo Rat, burrows of Nelson's Kangaroo Rats had significantly more total openings and significantly smaller average diameter of inactive openings than either subspecies of Banner-tailed Kangaroo Rat. Nelson’s Kangaroo Rat occurs with a rich variety of rodents including two kangaroo rats (Merriam’s Kangaroo Rat,
