The gophers only spent one day digging. Probably caught by live trap containing the only good food there. Then removed.

What do you think the purpose of the story is?

Why was it written and published?

Wonder about how to heal the land more quickly. Decided on a one day test with gofers (something is covering the letter next to o) but did not leave them on barren ash. The next test should be with A bunch of them and regular supply of food. Some of us find articles like this interesting and we are on the catastrophism fing list.

The title of the article is not phrased as a question.

They did not “Wonder”.

Most likely because there was nothing to eat there. They were just looking at the effect from their digging.

I HAVE FREE GOPHERS FOR THIS TEAM... THEY HAVE TO COLLECT.

I can donate a groundhog, some skunks and a truckload of squirrels.

Yeah, but they got paid for a 40 year study.
