Because this rodent is equipped with two exterior, fur-lined cheek pouches to carry food materials, it has earned the name Pocket gopher.
The Pocket gopher is a vegetarian, feeding primarily on plant roots and tubers. As such, this rodent typically causes pest control problems in yards and gardens, by feeding upon garden crops, flowers, shrubs and trees.
Pocket gophers are subterranean, burrowing rodents who live a lifestyle of digging and tunneling. An intensely solitary pest, the Pocket gopher will construct extensive burrows, which can extend from 200 to 2,000 square feet.
