pocket gophers

If you want to see two species of pocket gophers in one day, it is very easy right now in Upper Bidwell Park in Chico, California. Botta’s pocket gophers (left) are very active in Five Mile Recreation Area near the lower end of the park, while mountain pocket gophers (right) are easy to see in the upper part of it. Lots of cute juveniles.
