Gophers
Identifying Gophers
- Four to 12 inches in length
- Yellowish-brown to black fur on top; the underside is often a lighter shade, almost white in color
- Large front claws and large incisors, both used for digging
- Short tail and small, nearly naked ears
- Often noticed by their fan-shaped soil mounds that lead to the burrow system, generally four to 18 inches below ground – usually three inches in diameter but can vary with the size of the gopher
- Eats roots, plants and other vegetation they encounter while digging or pull into their tunnel from below – alfalfa is one of the most nutritious foods for pocket gophers
- Gophers are active throughout the day
- Reproduction begins the spring after birth, with a one-month gestation period
- Typically one litter per year with two to six young; occasionally two litters per year have been noted in the South
