Gopher, Squirrel, Mole, Rabbit and Skunk

Top of Page

Small rodents like the gopher, ground squirrel, mole, and rabbit dig burrows in the ground, or under logs and rocks, to provide shelter.

Many of these animals, like the gopher, create very extensive underground burrow systems. They connect together many entrance and exit holes with tunnels, allowing them to travel underground.

Worms and Ants

Other animals including the earthworm and ants also live in the ground.

The earthworm's long, slender body helps it move through moist soil. The earthworm eats and digests the soil as it moves through it.
