EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Red or Plains Pocket Gopher, Geomys bursarius, a fascinating mammal native to the Great Plains of North America. The intricate details of the gopher's fur, features, and posture are beautifully rendered in this illustration by Ernest E. Thompson, as captured in the Chromolithograph by Trautmann, Bailey and Blampey for the Report of the Ornithologist, published by the US Department of Agriculture in 1892. The Red or Plains Pocket Gopher is a burrowing rodent, known for its distinctive cheek pouches, which it uses to carry food to its underground burrow. The gopher's fur is typically reddish-brown, with a lighter underbelly, and its body length ranges from 12 to 16 inches. They are solitary animals, spending most of their lives in their burrows, which can extend several feet below the ground and contain multiple entrances and chambers. These pocket gophers are important members of the ecosystem, contributing to soil aeration and nutrient cycling through their burrowing activities. They are also an essential food source for many predators, including hawks, snakes, and foxes. Despite their ecological significance, pocket gophers are often considered pests due to their burrowing activities, which can damage crops and gardens. This stunning illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Red or Plains Pocket Gopher, providing a window into the rich biodiversity of the Great Plains region over a century ago.
