Giant Pocket Gopher (Orthogeomys grandis)
Pocket gophers are large subterranean rodents, which are difficult to observe in the wild. Giant Pocket Gopher (Orthogeomys grandis) – weighing almost two pounds – is restricted to Mexico and northern Central America. Watch this Giant Pocket Gopher warily emerging from one of its tunnels to grab a stem of Dahlia imperialis, seen in the highlands of Guatemala.
