Real Plains Pocket Gopher Skull
The plains pocket gopher (Geomys bursarius) is a small burrowing rodent known for its extensive underground tunnel systems. One distinctive feature of pocket gophers is their incisors, which have longitudinal grooves running along the front surface. These grooves help reduce friction and allow the teeth to wear evenly as the gopher gnaws through soil and roots. Their incisors grow continuously throughout their life, so the grooves are essential for maintaining functional, sharp teeth for digging and feeding.

- Average Skull Length 3.2 cm (1.2 in.)
