		A superficial but taxonomically diverse survey of the external lingual morphology for 11 families of rodents led Sonntag (1) to conclude that distinctive lingual characters are observable at the familial and often generic level, and that little variation occurs at the specific level.
		The family Geomyidae is distinguished by filiform papillae which are elongated and are almost entirely monofid.

		The 13-lined Ground Squirrel, known among taxonomists as Spermophilous tridecemlineatus because of its predilection for scarfing seeds and the 13 racing stripes on its back, ranges from the upper-midwest, from Michigan west to Montana, throughout the Great Plains and then south to New Mexico and Texas.
		Its confused relative, Geomys bursarius, the Plains Pocket Gopher, in the family Geomyidae, burrows much of the same territory but unlike (above-ground) ground squirrels, does most of its foraging underground.
