Excerpt from The Pocket Gophers of the United States The Pocket Gophers are sturdy little animals, well adapted to under ground life. Their bodies are stout and compact, their eyes are small, almost rudimentary, and their front feet are armed with strong, curved claws for digging. The appearance of a characteristic Species is shown in the frontispiece. Gophers can lay no claim to beauty, either in graceful form, Or in pleasing contrast of colors; but their coats of plain earthy browns harmonize perfectly with the color of the soil. What seems like fur is in'reality soft, silky hair, with a smoothness and gloss that repels the dirt and keeps the animal bright and clean though in constant contact with the soil. Such beauty as they have lies in their perfect adaptation to a peculiar mode of life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
