Curious Gopher Lives Under Rocket Launchpad

This gopher lives under the rocket launchpad at Kazakhstan's Baikonur cosmodrome. The creature was filmed completely by chance after a space agency cameraman accidentally left his camera rolling on the ground at the base. The gopher seemed quite happy with his home, despite it being perilously close to the pad where astronauts blast off for the International Space Station.
