Whereas it’s doubtless you’ve by no means seen the Pocket Gopher (solely ten have been seen within the final 20 years, in response to Idaho Fish and Sport), in the event you’ve been mountain climbing in Idaho throughout the spring and summer season months, you’ve most likely seen the filth mounds they go away behind.
As most different animals are hibernating throughout Idaho’s chilly and snowy winters, the Pocket Gopher is busy at work – digging.
[Inside the powerful, elusive animal roaming Idaho’s forests]

Pocket gophers are lively all yr; they don’t hibernate,” Idaho Fish and Sport’s web site says. “Throughout the winter, they burrow into the snow on the floor’s floor in search of meals.

These rodents could also be small however they dig massive burrows methods which have two tales – the primary ground being the grocery retailer the place there are roots, tubers, and different components of vegetation.
“Pocket gophers dig out a complete floorplan, together with a pantry, a sleeping space, and a spot to lift younger,” Idaho Fish and Sport’s PIO Connor Liess notes.
The second story – is a six- to eight-inch tunnel underground. Their burrow methods could be as much as 500 ft lengthy – that’s one and a half soccer fields if stretched out right into a straight line.
“A pocket gopher’s burrow system can tally as a lot as 5 tons of soil a yr,” Liess notes. “Certain, that may not be too tall of an order for a contemporary skip loader, however when your arms are the scale of nickels you may be at it for some time.”
These burrows usually are not solely useful for Pocket Gophers. Based on IDFG, over 20 different animals use them for shelter or to lift a household.
