How does a gopher adapt?

Gophers adapt to their environment through specialized physical traits and behaviors. Their strong forelimbs and claws allow them to dig extensive burrow systems, which provide protection from predators and help regulate temperature. Additionally, gophers have a herbivorous diet, enabling them to thrive in various habitats by feeding on roots, tubers, and other vegetation. Their ability to modify their burrows and foraging behavior also helps them survive in changing environmental conditions.
