OVERVIEW
The Pocket Gopher is a burrowing rodent
found throughout North America and extending
into Central America. The pocket gopher is
an underground dweller, only occasionally
coming above ground at night to feed or
migrate. It has a brownish fur coat that
never gets dirty
and fur lined external cheek pouches in
which food is carried. There are 35 species
of pocket gophers that vary in size. Length
of head and body is 5 to 12 inches with 2 to
4 inches of hairless tail that they use to
guide themselves backwards in their tunnel.
The pocket gopher has front teeth that never
stop growing and powerful front claws that
never stop digging. Altogether, he is a
destructive, eating and digging machine
capable of 150 feet of new tunnel a day. |
