Diet:

Geographic range: Scapanus latimanus can be found from the southern range of Oregon down to the northern range of Baja California excluding regions in northwest, central valley, and the southeastern deserts of California.

Body Morphometrics:

Behavior: Scapanus latimanus are burrowing animals and exhibit a fossorial life style living below ground for the majority of their lives. Only one animal occupies a burrow at a time and if a burrow has been vacated then it is often reoccupied within 2 days. Tunnels are typically dug far below surface level and the excess earth is removed via shafts that run laterally and vertically up to the surface. The excess earth pushed out of these shafts form distinct volcano-shaped mounds with the older earth towards the outer base and the newer earth towards the core. Shallow surface tunnels are sometimes dug and form a ridge in the soil on the surface. How often exactly these tunnels are used is unknown seeing as they are used irregularly.
