Or shall i say, what was it? I caught it making LOTS AND LOTS of holes in the run but couldn't get it till today, i even saw it pull a corn cob down one of the holes.
Its about the size of a coke can, What is it?

Ground Hog? or Prairie Dog?

def not groundhog or praire dog. That is just a good sized rat.

I agree with some sort of rat. Prairie Dogs and Groundhogs have short tails like barely there at all, nubs.

Could be, i doubt we have Prairie Dogs and Groundhogs in the desert.
