Fun Facts About Gophers

• Gophers have four large front teeth. Two are on top, and two are on the bottom. These teeth are used to dig through the ground when creating a tunnel.
• If you could look inside a gopher’s underground tunnel, you would often see them moving in reverse. They use their tails to push their way through the tunnels while moving backward.
• Gophers don’t feed on other animals. They keep their diet natural and healthy with plant matter only. They mostly eat roots and stems that they come across when digging underground.
• Many people believe gophers are blind, but they can see. Their vision just isn’t as sharp as their noses and ears. They’re likely to hear and smell you before they see you walking through their natural environment.
