It's a baby. Did it live happily ever after? I found a baby groundhog at my back door a few years ago. It was March and still somewhat cold. The undergrowth hadn't come out yet. I did not want it right next to the house. I gently slid a shovel under it (see YOUR pic), and put it in the woods about 50' away. Not being mean, I "gave it" a pound of strawberries I had in the refrigerator and some grapes. When I last looked, it was sniffing the food. The next morning the fruit and groundhog were gone. So either it got a burst of energy from the food and took off to live out its life as a groundhog or something had fruit salad and groundhog tar tar. I think it made it cause 2 years later there are groundhogs digging down next to the foundation of the house. I ran 'em off by throwing a LOT of used cat litter in the hole.

It’s a big bull (male) gopher. They sure tear up a yard fast.

Just curious as to what kind of tone your machine rung up when you dug that up?

I looks like you have successfully captured the elusive golden toothed gopher.

Probably rang up like a couple of pull tabs...

That may look big to those of you scared by seeing teeth or those who never saw one but it is tiny. I have seen them as big as a large dog. I had one in my hard about ten years ago that was gong after our Rottweilers. It was rabbid and about 36 inches long. And way ver 60 pounds probably closer to 80-100 pounds.

Once you are married long enough you don't hear your wives voice. It is a scientifically proven fact that men become tone deaf to their wives voice after a short time.
