Did you know The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is a moderate-sized, burrowing turtle native to the southeastern United States. They are known as “ecosystem engineers” for their role in altering and constructing their habitats. Appearance: Adult gopher tortoises can grow to 9–15 inches long, with tan, brown, or gray shells. They have shovel-like front limbs and elephantine hind legs for digging. Hatchlings are yellow-orange and brown, but fade with age. #hundredacrehollows #floridawildlif

Gopher Tortoises spend roughly 80% of their time living below ground in their burrows, which provides protection from extreme weather and predators. The burrows also provide shelter and refuge for over 350 species, including snakes, mice, rabbits, and frogs. Their time above ground is spent feeding on low-growing plants that they can find around their burrow entrance. They are opportunistic grazers, foraging the vegetation near their burrows, only traveling further if necessary. Video by Anna Ma
