Scepanus latimonus
Dec 24 4 mi N E Springville, 2800 ft Tulare Co Cal.
1 individual caught in a
gopher trap.
Farrel area - Sierra Foothill.
Life zone - Upper Sonoran.
Habitat - Sandy areas
along the stream especially
when the burrs from the
oaks have collected in a
thick layer. I have seen
numerous workings.
July 6 Parks Meadow, 6400 ft Tulare Co Cal.
Caught 2 S's from the
same burro in the same trap.
Later an adult S gopher was taken
in the same trap.
Farrel area - Sierra Nevada.
Life zone - Canadian.
Habitat - Along the meadow
a styran side in the green
thick grassy area where the
soil is well dried. Numerous
mold hills can be seen
about the meadow and such
are usually in moist areas
than the gopher mounds.
July 7 One individual caught in the
stream bank. This animal had
eaten off the rear end of
a gopher which I had
previously caught in this trap.
