English term

gopher

English to Thai Science Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) animals
gopher = burrowing rodent of the family Geomyidae having large external cheek pouches; of Central America and southwestern North America.

Please help me to find an appropriate translation. So far I found only กระรอก = squirrel. But please note, that the word is designed for learning dictionary and cannot have too scientific name.

Thanks a lot in advance.

กระรอกโกเฟอร์

Since it is not a local species, Thai will recognize it as a kind of squirrel. So, we may transliterate "gopher" and use it together with the translation of "squirrel" to differentitate from the typical squirrel.
