Head-body 130-175 mm, tail 50-70 mm; weight c.160 g (males) and ¢.130 g (females). Male Attwater’s Pocket Gophers are usually larger than females; this is especially pronounced in populations with larger average body size. It 1s average size for the genus. It has a fusiform body shape typical of all pocket gophers, and it possesses fur-lined cheek pouches that open external to the mouth. Most individuals are pale brown to black dorsally and lighter ventrally. Anterior surface of each upperincisor has a large medial groove flanked by a smaller groove located along the inner margin of the tooth. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 70 and FN = 72-74.

is usually found in soils ranging from sandy loam to silty clay loam, often with high levels (above 88%) of sand. Where it occurs along the Gulf coastal prairie, vegetation is dominated by perennial bunchgrasses and seasonally occurring forbs.

Attwater’s Pocket Gopheris a feeding generalist, consuming 36 of 51 available plant species in a study in south-eastern Texas. Individuals avoided annual dicots in winter and preferred perennial dicotyledonous when they were available. Females, especially pregnant females, preferred perennial monocots in spring.

eats predominately underground roots and tubers and a limited amount of surface vegetation;it readily invades cultivated fields and is considered an agricultural pest wherever it occurs in contact with humans. As in all other pocket gophers, the burrow system is a series of shallow feeding tunnels radiating spoke-like from a deeper, central network that contains one or more nest chambers and several smaller chambers for storage of food or fecal pellets. Feeding tunnels are deeper in the ground in winter and summer and shallower in spring and autumn in response to availability of shallow roots of annual monocots.

|

Attwater’s Pocket Gopheris active at any hour of the day, with periods of peak activity around dawn and dusk. It does not hibernate and is active year-round. One population of Attwater’s Pocket Gopher moved 57,000-70,000 1 ofsoil from belowground to the surface per hectare per year.

|
||
Attwater’s Pocket Gopheris solitary and aggressively territorial. Because it rarely leaves its burrow system, its home range is defined by size and extent of its burrow system. In one study, burrow systems of Attwater’s Pocket Gopher had more loops and convolutions than did typically linear, branching burrow systems of other pocket gopher species. Attwater’s Pocket Gopher is often abundant, and estimates of density are 11-44 ind/ha. Hawks, owls, and mammalian carnivores commonly prey on Attwater’s Pocket Gopher, and most individuals live only one year in the wild. Some individuals have been reported to live up to 2:5 years in the wild.
