Who's feeling like this pocket gopher this morning? These burrowing rodents live almost entirely underground and can move more than a ton of soil a year. Here's more: http://bit.ly/PocketGopherTx | Texas Parks and Wildlife

Pocket gophers spend almost their entire life underground, so we seldom see them. While we are familiar with their feeding tunnels near the surface most of their tunnel network is farther underground. They have separate chambers for resting, feeding, and raising their young. They are so serious about staying underground that the males even tunnel "next door" to visit receptive females during mating season! | Kerr & Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Areas - Texas Parks and Wildlife
