Gopher
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Gophers are small, burrowing rodents. There are over 100 kinds of gophers in America. Gophers have long front teeth, tiny features, and short tails. They live in very complex tunnels underground. They do not live together, usually only on their own, and feed on roots and shrubs. They are known to be pests and ruin people's lawns and gardens.
More notable are the Pocket gopher (which is a true gopher). Some gophers are really ground squirrels, or marmots.
