Gopher and groundhog are two different animals in the same taxonomic order. They differ from each other in many aspects including body size and some other characteristics. However, it would not be too convenient to identify them correctly if their characteristics are not familiar. Groundhog is many times larger than any gopher species. Accordingly, the size of the burrows is larger in groundhogs than in gophers. â¢ Groundhogs can live longer than the gophers.
The groundhog hibernates and the gopher does not. By the end of October, the groundhog descends into her hidden burrow beneath a stump or a rock, curls into a relaxed ball, slows her heart from 75 to 4 beats a minute, and drops her body temperature to that of her home.he gopher is, like the groundhog, a burrowing member of the rodent order but its closest living relatives are kangaroo rats and pocket mice. The pocket gopher gets its name from large fur-lined cheek pouches that border its face down to its shoulders. These weird roomy pouches function much like jeans pockets.
