Just so you know, this is a picture of a gopher.



They closley resemble the common household pets guinea pigs very closley. Because this is catooony you're allowed alot of creative liscense, but i would definately look at the shpae of its nose, cause the gopher nose is pretty pointed, and yours isn't really in the slightest. Also the cheeks are puffed out (like a squirrel or hamster with nuts in his cheeks) which provides a quite humerous, and rodent look.

Just trying to keep you ontarget as far as gophers go, maybe you'll decide its another animal.

This is a slightly catoony version of a gopher found in the HILARIOUS bill murry movie "Caddy shack
