A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thomomys bottae
A gopher? Never saw the body or tail...just the head as it repeatedly bit onto clumps of dried grass and pulled them down into the hole!
Inland San Diego backyard, ~1200' elevation. Clay-like soil with dried grasses and weeds.
