Gopher tortoises do so much for our ecosystems, which is why we’re starting our biggest gopher tortoise habitat enhancement project yet! 🐢 💪 Gopher tortoises need open-canopy, sandy habitats with low grasses and vegetation. In Florida, these habitats are in decline, so we’re making a few of our own! Join us as we clear overgrown vegetation, plant native species, and restore habitat for gopher tortoises on our preserve lands this fall and winter by signing up to volunteer with us: https://sccf.

Beautiful weather, nature views, and maybe a tortoise or two! Explore the Pine Ridge Preserve Trail and see what you discover 🐢😊 Fun fact: Gopher tortoises help shape the ecosystem by digging burrows that provide shelter for hundreds of other species! These slow-and-steady critters are also a sign of a healthy Longleaf Pine forest, one of North America’s most endangered habitats. Once spanning 90 million acres, only 3% of this forest remains today. Thanks to conservation efforts, we’re restori

Spring is in the air and we've got the perfect yard care solution for you: a hungry gopher tortoise. Just kidding — you're unlikely to even find one as these animals spend around 80% of their lives underground. As this species' name suggests, the gopher tortoise is an expert at living underground — just like a gopher. Gopher tortoises have shovel-like front legs and strong, thick back legs to help them dig intricate burrows. Yet despite their subterranean nature, gopher tortoises are in a fight

This is the best description of Gus the gopher tortoise. Gus is a 103 year old gopher tortoise, who has lived at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History since 1942. He is the oldest known living gopher tortoise in the world. Gus goes for a walk and is offered a snack daily, at 3pm. When it is very busy in the Museum, or Gus is very tired, he may enjoy some private quiet time instead of his public walk. And he’s perfect. #MNH #Tortoise #Museum #NovaScotia Video description: Gus the gopher torto
