This is what we have and call them striped gophers. Early spring you can drive around all day and pick them off with a .22. We also have have pocket gophers. I trapped hundreds of them as a kid and sold their front claws to the township. It was always interesting to see what you would find in their cheek pockets. Mostly grasses and seeds but sometimes you would find coins and other "people" stuff.

The one in the video looks like what we call a Flicker tail around here.
