oh ok. thanks for explaining (:

Aniu- Ground squirrels (also called Gophers in some areas) are quite common in the United States. A species that is similar is called a Prairie dog which is like a ground squirrel except larger. A groundhog is even larger than a Prairie dog (its the size of a well-fed tom-cat)

There are a lot of Gophers (in the Midwest that's what most people call them) in the area where I live, farmers shoot or poison them because the holes they create are hazardous to cattle and they ruin crops.

theyre a wierd mutant forest rodent

Ok, thanks!

never heard of ground squirrels
then again im in aus XD

These look like either poorly colored chipmunks, or ground squirrels.


A groundhog is another name for a woodchuck which is much larger and it doesn't live in the forest.
