Injured or orphaned gophers & moles
 Pocket gophers are burrowing rodents so named because they have fur-lined pouches on each side of the mouth used to carry food. They have small ears, small eyes and large incisor teeth that are always outside the lips. Moles are insectivores with large, paddle-like front feet and pointed snouts. They have tiny eyes and no external ears. They are not rodents. Moles spend all of their time underground and rarely appear on the surface. |
Injured gopher or mole
Wearing gardening gloves, place it in a secure container and bring it to the museum. Gophers and moles can bite-do not touch it with your bare hands. |
Baby gopher or mole
Baby gophers and moles should not be out of the underground nest; bring it to the museum. |
