GOPHER NOT SWEARING, EATING
Gopher shouts and swears to protect mink shouts, making funny sounds repellent. Photographed in Russia (Krasnoyarsk, Tatyshev island).
As is known gopher - is not only valuable fur, but also the ability to swear. In this video you can see how frightened marmot shouts (ie gopher shouts, almost like swearing protein). Generally hear shouts like groundhog (or watch him eat) or a cat or even a rabbit screams screams always interesting, because their cry - it's not always what you expect. I would even say that to hear the screams as the fat ground squirrel - a definite prospect for trauma;)

Generally, ground squirrels (Spermophilus, Citellus) - is a medium-sized rodent of the squirrel family.
The body length of about 30 cm of ground squirrels, tail 15 cm (which is usually less than half the body length gopher). Hind legs slightly longer than the front ground squirrels. Ears gophers short, slightly pubescent. Painting gopher back very diverse, from green to purple. On each side of the body can pass gopher light stripes. Belly gopher usually dirty-yellow or whitish color. By winter fur had become soft and thick, and in the summer it is shorter and coarser.

Gophers are widespread on the steppe, forest-steppe, forest-tundra landscape lugostepnym and temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Characteristic of open landscapes. By meadow areas of river valleys extend beyond the Arctic Circle, and on ostepnёnnym areas - in the semi-deserts and even the desert; mountain steppes rise up into the mountains to a height of 3500 m above sea level. Lifestyle gopher ground; They live in colonies in burrows, which are dug themselves. The length of the holes, and it is subject to the type of ground squirrel and the particular landscape. On sandy soils are the most two longest - up to 15 m long and 3 m deep; more dense clay soils are rarely longer than 5-7 m. The Gophers are known for their habit of danger when getting up on their hind legs and emit characteristic whistling sounds. As in the cartoon hamster and gopher.

They feed on gophers aboveground and underground parts of plants, always far from the norm. Some species consume feed and animals, usually insects. Make significant food reserves from the seeds of herbaceous plants and grain cereals. Are active in the morning and evening; Day is advantageously carried out in burrows. Gophers shout (swear), defending its burrow. In the cold season hibernate, duration and timing of which are highly dependent on geographic location. A number of species along with hibernation and summer there is associated with the lack of fodder.
Gon have gophers usually begins a few days after waking from hibernation.
Large species of ground squirrels have a value in the fur trade.

Gophers are a family of rodents. These cute little creation live in the steppes of Kazakhstan, Ukraine, in the steppes of the Volga and the North Caucasus. Gophers live in burrows. They dig to a depth of 80 to 150 centimeters. At the end of the hole they build a cozy nest of dry grass.
Very often you can see a gopher zamёrshego at the entrance to its burrow. Gopher stands on his hind legs, like a bar or a stone statue. But it is necessary to approach it, how will spread over steppe alarming whistle. And many statues, standing still a moment ago still, disappear into burrows. There are several species of ground squirrels. The most common of them: small, spotted, yellow, reddish, big, red-cheeked and European ground squirrels.
Gophers eat juicy parts of steppe grasses, bulbs and seeds of plants. They also eat insects such as locusts, grasshoppers, beetles and caterpillars. In the dry season this small little animal in search of food makes trips to 7-10 kilometers.
Gophers with all its cute appearance - one of the most dangerous enemies of agriculture. They eat the ears of grain crops, make devastating raids on the plantations. Gophers are the smell and dig planted acorns, maple seeds, hazelnut, apricot, and other tree species.
In autumn and winter squirrels clog the entrance to the burrow underground and hibernate. they do not eat anything at this time. Moreover, they fall into a state of near death. Body temperature dropped to 1-2 ° Celsius. Their heart barely beats: no more than 5 beats per minute. In such a numb state, they can spend more than six months. In some places they sleep up to 9 months. During sleep, they lose up to half their body weight. Wake up, they spring, warmed to normal temperature (38-40 °), break through the vertical stroke and go outside. Soon, the female brings 6-7 cubs.
