Question:
Do gophers hibernate?


Replies:
Both ground squirrels, of which there are a number of species in North America, and pocket gophers are called gophers, as are groundhogs, occasionally . In Ohio, you should have the 13-lined ground squirrel, which does hibernate in the winter, but the pocket gophers are usually found further west and south. There are reports that some pocket gophers estivate, which is a period of torpor in the summer rather than winter.

Thanks for asking NEWTON!
