Gophers refer to several types of animals that like to burrow underground. These include gophers, moles, ground squirrels and species of prairie dogs. They are usually brown with soft, fine fur, tiny ears, small eyes, short tails and long, hard front teeth. They like to create complex underground tunnels and they eat roots, grass, shrubs, plants and trees. While they are not harmful to humans, gophers can cause damage to lawns, gardens and trees.
