Identifying Gophers

• 4 – 12 inches in length
• Yellowish-brown to black fur on top and the underside is often a lighter shade to 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 4 to 18 inches below ground – usually 3 inches in diameter but can vary with the size of the gopher
• Eats roots, plants and other vegetation they encounter while digging or that they 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, 1 month gestation period with litters of 2 – 6
• Typically one litter per year, occasionally two have been noted in the South
