"Pocket gophers spend most of their time below ground, digging holes. Their activity is not without benefit. Their tunnels aerate ground that has been compacted by livestock or farm machinery, said the National Wildlife Federation, and capture snowmelt and rainfall that would otherwise cause erosion.

 

However, pocket gopher mounds can damage farm equipment and the rodents have developed a taste for bundles of fiber-optic glass wires that lie buried about four feet underground. The wires are wrapped in a rodent-resistant outer jacket and armored sheath, but even these defenses crumble under the onslaught of generations of skilled, determined chewers."
