Are gophers and prairie dogs the same?

Technically, no. The loose, colloquial use of the term "gopher" might include any ground squirrel, and prairie dogs are indeed ground-living members of the family Sciuridae, but they are usually not considered gophers.True gophers are of the family Geomyidae, and not in the squirrel family at all. They are, of course, in the same order, Rodentia.Other ground squirrels often called gophers are of the genus Spermophilius, including the striped gopher or thirteen-lined ground squirrel (S. tridecemlineatus), the flickertail or Richardson's ground squirrel (S. richardsonii), and others.Prairie dogs are of the tribe Marmotini, genus Cynomys, and there are about five species.So, to diagram the relationship:Order Rodentia- Superfamily Geomyoidae-- Family Geomyidae (true gophers)- Family Sciuridae-- Tribe Marmotini--- Genus Spermophilius (ground squirrels, many of which are called "gophers")--- Genus Cynomys (prairie dogs)(I hope that's clear!)See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynomyshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomyidaehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpermophilusThe term gopher as it is commonly used does not relate to any one species, but is a generic term used to describe any of several small burrowing rodents endemic to North America, including the pocket gopher (family Geomyidae), also called true gophers, and the ground squirrel (family Sciuridae), including Richardson's ground squirrel and species of prairie dog.
