They're great. They will turn your lawn/backyard upside down. I personally like them, but my neighbor (Who gardens in his free time) hates them with a passion and has these sound devices that are in the corners of his yard. Apparently they emit a high pitch sound that is too uncomfortable for gophers to bear or something.
“Hey, you do realize that I can’t fit in there, right?” “Of course. _But we’ll find a way to MAKE you fit.”_ “What do you mean by WE’LL?” *Several aggressive digging sounds become audible behind him.*
I had when I was a kid in my yard. We sprayed water so it’d come out and then babies came too. Pretty sure it ran to our neighbors yard because we didn’t wanna kill or and definitely not try and capture them
Thank you for recording & posting. This really helped me explain to a little boy what a gopher is. Our neighbor has one & kiddo just didn't get it until seeing this.
hahahahahhaahhhahhhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahhahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahah...this comment made my day cos of how true it is
+Mrpopo Meng If the water was boiling natural instinct would be not to swim upwards into it through the hole. Rather it would attempt to dig an escape down below. Additionally if the water was boiling it would be doing the work without the use of chili mixture. And it would die if it found no escape pretty fast from the boiling water. Long before the chili was any sort of torment. You would also be wasting other materials in hopes they would come to the top.
'What's up guys , today I'm going to show you how to dig a hole , with the assistance of my trusty cameraman mr.Greg , alrighty, let's dig right into it !'
+AuthorityCat It may be digging the whole for safety, and would run if the person holding the camera got any closer. That's why it keeps coming back to make sure whatever it is isn't coming for it.
@@SirKolass you haven't heard of fracking have you....they destroy national parks, indian reservations and all kinds of shit just to run gas lines accross the country.
it's so awesome seeing the thinking process of him digging the hole, knows exactly how to do it like a pro. was entranced watching, similar to watching another human do something you can't and getting hooked.
That gopher ain't playing around he knows to multi-task in style he's a professional got years of experience I bet he's having so much fun doing it and be tough
If I’d ever seen this animal before I would of thought I was seeing a big rat. I’ve honestly never seen a gopher before or even researched what it looked like. They have great digging skills, that hole got deep fast.
You are a good man Greg and a lucky one. Witnessed something not every person has in a lifetime and stepped back to appreciate and respect nature. You've been raised by good parents. Bless your kind man.
Thank you for this!! Now I see the exact hole that is in my garden! It hasn’t eaten any of my garden. It’s only dug two holes. My old dog would have had a field day. I wonder what my Yorkie/Maltese will do. The gopher will probably scratch it’s only good eye out. The other was taken out by a feral cat.
Great video footage, thanks for posting this video 👍. I still don’t know why this was in my Recommended videos but I watched it anyway. I’m surprised that this video has gotten so many views
I don’t understand why videos like this where the video follows the the title 💯, get dislikes. The title said gopher dig hole, and the vid shows the gopher diggin the hole lol 😅
baw0909 that’s not a reason to dislike. If the gopher is afraid then that’s its problem. The human isn’t doing anything and deserves no negative feedback of any kind
I used to trap them on the farm where I grew up, back in the 70’s. They were very active diggers and easiest to catch in early spring when they came out of hibernation and were hungry and careless. Now I don’t think farmers are bothered by them with their gigantic machinery.
Cute :) Thanks for recording this and sharing. You could have consumed the whole thing by yourself, but thanks to you and youtube now millions of people get to watch it too :)
This video made me realize that Ive never actually seen a gopher ever in my life before until now
In german its Taschenratte.
Finessed you still haven't in real life
they're common pests where i live
I saw one alive today, 1st time ever.

You might think he was scared and dig to run away, but actually he was mad and digging your grave.
And he stops in a short while just to check your body size
Rip
Lmao omg dude that was too funny
lmfao
“Hey, you do realize that I can’t fit in there, right?”
“Of course. _But we’ll find a way to MAKE you fit.”_
“What do you mean by WE’LL?”
*Several aggressive digging sounds become audible behind him.*
In all my years of living, I have never once seen a gopher or even bothered to look up what a gopher looked like, just had a generalized idea.
Never have I ever said let me go on RUclips and look up gophers but somehow youtube dragged us here.
You know you played the game at Chuck E Cheese lol don’t lie
@@STXRMY365 YOOOOO😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

We see them often when we go for walks near the lake trails here in Minnesota

I always dig down it into a cliff because houses take a long time to build. And cause I suck at houses.

Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch LOL
2:27
Gopher: "nigga u still here?"
Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch kdcbm.
Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch check your pronouns first! You never know how that gopher identifies.
You are an idiot. I can't even begin to explain how much of a drain you are on society.
So this is what my life has come to. Watching a gopher dig a hole.
It's a beautiful thing
Next ... bee fights!
I mean how often do you get the chance to see it live?
This comment deserves a million likes
Tsk tsk, Gazing on the beautiful wildlife, sometimes it can be somewhat.. Ahem odd
I have never seen such natural talent. He's a star and he damn well knows it.
I came here to watch a gopher digging a hole. No BS. Just a gopher digging a hole. Quality content right here.
Certainly got what we wanted
Plot twist: he’s digging the cameraman’s grave
Hahahaha
Lol

🤣🤣
Atleast he's filming horizontally 😂
"hey.. uh, you mind if I dig here?"
Nah. Gopher it.
Salvador Suazo GODDAMMIT!

Salvador Suazo lolllll holy shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Bahaha
0:56 omfg its so funny how he goes from digging to "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME" so fast lol
He's like: here,lemme help you out on where to plant your flower at bro.
plot twist: that gopher was in China last week.
Legend has it that he made it to China a couple days later.
:)))))))
and Then They ate him
I Removed my comment I meant it as a joke no offence
@S Li You mean wlecome to the authoritarian state? I think gopher is not as stupid as you.
Fred?
I love the way it digs. Super strong claws with lightning fast hands, then uses the back legs to kick the dirt back behind him. It's pretty amazing.
The mole digs like he is working a 9 to 5. The gopher digs with artistic expression.
Thank you for recording & posting. This really helped me explain to a little boy what a gopher is. Our neighbor has one & kiddo just didn't get it until seeing this.
This is actually kind of satisfying to watch, seeing how much dirt that thing can move in such a short time.
I know
MrSlanderer they can move 700 lbs worth in a short time. They are def. hard working and motivated ! And built to dig
You wouldn’t be so happy if that was your yard. Incredibly destructive creatures.
Bro we need to put them to work, I need my yard leveled lol
A magie would have gotten that thing tbh
When you're in Survival Mode and it's the first night.
Should just climb a tree instead. That way you can see what enemies are around you the next morning.
LOL
So true lol
It was either fight or flight. He went with Flight.
dethaddr spiders can climb tho
Thank you so much for showing this. Impressive!!! I love gofers. This is a rare sight to see how fast their arms dig. 👍🏻
This is too cute the little breaths
me escaping responsibilities
TreeFiddy 🔥
pathetic do you even have them?
Good on ya m8

cannot relate, the gophers too good.
It looks like an angry potato digging and hissing.

It was hissing?

Haha, I know! Isn't it?
And it works. Ya clicked the video yes?

@@LilOleTinyMe but WHY does it work? WHY does RUclips know we want to watch a gopher dig a hole? Life's greatest mystery....
😂😂😂😁😁
he's so efficient
You know you're a good digger when a sand bag filler compliments you
MrSapper21 yep.
CircaSriYak your comment made me smile.
MrSapper21 don't know if your talking to me or the other guy but that's good to know.
MrSapper21 he is mot useful than Trump

Greg Thorsen was it rabid? Or are they all that mean.
Peter Geralis I don't think he was rabid he just wanted to be Left alone
Greg Thorsen lol I never saw one that ballsy
A true artist. Doesn't like being watched as he creates
I like that little breathing thing he does. He's so cute! 😀💚💙👍
There are tons of these guys in my neighborhood, but I have never seen the body completely out of the hole. Thank you, great video!
Last I heard he recently sent a postcard from China. Says he's doing well.
Goggle products shut up plz.
@Goggle products is that a strange joke or are you bipolar and on methamphetamines?..Just wondering.
Jose Rodriguez that was very funny
Man, gophers are fast workers.
Definetly no mexicans
Cartels are cryin
Union Workers should take some notes

'What's up guys , today I'm going to show you how to dig a hole , with the assistance of my trusty cameraman mr.Greg , alrighty, let's dig right into it !'
Gopher it bro
lol
Also periodically "Fuck you Mr. Greg, don't you see how badass I am?!"
But i don’t own a camra...
Lol
You can see that in his point of view he's digging for his life.
Actually if it was actually scared it probably would have run. I can't imagine they dig to escape predators. It's far too slow.
+AuthorityCat
It may be digging the whole for safety, and would run if the person holding the camera got any closer. That's why it keeps coming back to make sure whatever it is isn't coming for it.
Actually, it's actually spelled whofple, not hole.
Random Experiments Int. - Experiments and syntheses and imagine that's what usually make people kill them. The irony.
Actually in actuality the actual act of digging actually with all actuality acts as an actual safe haven for this little fella. So actually stfu
Its so funny when he stops for a second and continues digging
It’s amazing how much dirt there is in a hole.
This just in: Dirt is inside holes
I'm still trying to figure out how he knew there was a hole there to dig out!
@@bigemugamer lol
Lmao eating lunch watching a gopher dig a hole .. All my life I've waited too see this.
Your ancestors would be so proud.
Knowing that I can lay in my bed worry free and watch a gopher dig a hole says a lot about how far I've gotten in life. I like it...
I was smiling the entire time 😅 cutie, he can tear my lawn up anytime
this gopher just made more difference in its life that 90% of people on the internet.
Do they take gas lines into consideration when digging?
I hear he isn't part of a union...
HAHA Call before you dig!
Surely there's a lot of gas lines in the middle of the bush
@@SirKolass you haven't heard of fracking have you....they destroy national parks, indian reservations and all kinds of shit just to run gas lines accross the country.
He’s a ditch witch.... and he didn’t even call dig alert.
He was a paid actor...
Fake news

Did u just assume this mammal’s gender
Always nice to see things getting done.
The sniffs and snorts when he was out in the open, was funny.
lol he's an angry little fella
You gotta dig angry
Anger is its fuel to dig faster.
*alright pal, heres that hole for the fence post you asked for*

The dislikes were from people with cancer in the brain.

honestly thank you, literally had no idea how this worked
