Hi, does anyone know where in the US has pocket gophers? I know of wildlife world zoo but are there any others (preferably in California)
WWZ is the only place I know of with plains pocket gopher. Springs Preserve in Las Vegas has Botta's pocket gopher. WERC, Wildlife Education & Rehabilitation Center in Morgan Hill, CA has one as an educational animal.
This is a super late response (was searching Lindsay Wildlife) but we do have one in quarantine right now! Our old guy, Geo, passed away in 2017 so we're excited to have a new one joining our ambassador collection. It'll be a while until she's ready to go out in front of the public but she's doing well!
Thanks for the reply, that is very exciting! Do you know whether she’ll be visible at the end of august?
She won't be on exhibit but she will definitely be out for programs! She's officially off quarantine (just had her exam on Tuesday) and she's doing well
