A dirt mound made by pocket gophers typically appears as a crescent or fan-shaped pile of soil, often with a distinctive opening on one side where the gopher has excavated. In contrast, moles create more conical or volcano-shaped mounds of loose soil, often with a central hole. Both types of mounds can vary in size but are generally softer and less compact than the surrounding ground. The presence of these mounds indicates active tunneling beneath the surface.
