are gophers the same as groundhogs
Gopher and groundhog are two different animals in the same taxonomic order. They differ from each other in many aspects including body size and some other characteristics. However, it would not be too convenient to identify them correctly if their characteristics are not familiar. Groundhog is many times larger than any gopher species. Accordingly, the size of the burrows is larger in groundhogs than in gophers. â¢ Groundhogs can live longer than the gophers.
