In the past, I have had a frustrating relationship with these cute little Botta’s Pocket Gophers. They can be quite destructive to gardens, lawn, and fruit trees. However, they are a native species, and they are important to the balance of the ecosystem, so over the years I have come to appreciate them as wild animals. Their short attention span makes them quite entertaining to watch; within moments they forget that you are nearby.
