Orthogeomys cavator (Chiriqui pocket gophers) can be found in the neotropical regions of Costa Rica and Panama, specifically the Isthmian-Pacific moist forests and Talamancan montane forests. These moist tropical rainforests compose the central and western regions of southernmost Central America. These areas are characterized by high temperatures, humidity, and dense, varied vegetation.
