if you know it's a gopher why did you call it a hamster?

It seriously looks like a gopher, so it realllllly bugs me that you call it a hampster. If there were no words, everyone would say Hey look, a gopher.

Bah. I just can't get past that.

I think "get opher it" should be the phrase on the shirt.

It's actually a prairie dog, not a gopher, not a hamster.

From wikianswers.com: 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 love how this post became a discussion of what the proper animal is. :D

OK, the tag line is good but the concept needs some refinement. Put the hamster, gopher, prairie dog what ever in a pocket. Give the little guy a more threatening look and your there.

I like the suggestion. Thanks.

Id' be careful of using the dramatic gopher as your model. It's a highly identifiable image so it sort of detracts from your design because people are use to seeing it.
