Gophers as Ingenious Tunnels Builders In Nature
In Uncle Ray’s Corner the gophers are described as smart little engineers with long underground tunnels and storerooms for food. They resize entrances to surface periodically to move dirt and deter enemies like snakes and hawks. Farmers call them varmints and the article notes their root eating and crop damage.
