WARNING: The following may disturb some readers, particularly those that suffer a pre-existing phobia with regard to the Phylum Chordata; Class Mammalia; Order Rodentia; specifically the Pocket Gopher; basically your everyday garden gopher.
A new study suggests that there’s a non-human mammal that farms: the pocket gopher. “University of Florida researchers Jack Putz and Veronica Selden claim that gophers are doing something much more sophisticated with their underground tunnels than simply burrowing — they’re “employing a low-level food production system that may qualify as farming.”
So now that you have come to terms with Climate Change, Nuclear Oblivion, Democracy giving way to totalitarianism, mass shootings, dishonest politicians, the Supreme Court trampling The Constitution and problems with our healthcare and education systems, you probably thought it was smooth-sailing ahead. But get ready for perhaps the greatest threat yet to mankind’s existence:
RODENTS THAT FARM! Coming soon to a theater near you…probably!
