Behle has been trapping a big series
of large bristle gophers with white incisors.
Behle may be leucodon or they may be
laticeps. They are found in rich soil
of the grasslands - generally in the
wet seepage areas in the swales, but found
on the crest of the knolls. The incisors
are whitish - more so at the tips and
then tinged with straw yellow in middle, darker
at base. Of very large size.
