The Gopher

Gophers are furry little creatures that are skilled at tunneling and digging. They have short limbs, a compact body, and sharp claws that make them perfect underground dwellers. A gopher's fur usually varies from black to light brown, helping them blend with their surroundings. They also have small eyes and ears on the top of their heads and two large front teeth that they use for gnawing and digging. Their cheek pouches can hold food and are lined with fur to keep their precious snacks safe!
