When you think a stray cat is hunkered under your car so you drop down to coax it out… #notcaturday #gophertortoise #georgia #WritingCommunity #screenwriting
A young #GopherTortoise found escaping a #prescribedburn. This individual is almost as small as they come. These young tortoises are a good indicator of a healthy Gopher Tortoise population in this particular area.
You may know that the #gophertortoise is a #threatenedspecies, a #keystonespecies & the state #reptile of Georgia, but DID YOU KNOW #prescribedfire was our number one managment tool for them? Fire increases food plant growth & areas for #basking and #nesting. #WildlifeWednesday
Exciting news for Gopher Tortoises! The Georgia #GopherTortoise Conservation Initiative recently reached its goal of permanently protecting 65 tortoise populations across the state!
Tips Needed! Two gopher tortoises were found with painted shells: ow.ly/EEVu50FM1yJ #GopherTortoise #NoPaint!

New #sciart! This grouchy #gophertortoise is so named because they live in burrows. They are a keystone species in the longleaf pine ecosystem of the south-eastern US - these burrows are also used by a number of other species, including the endangered eastern indigo snake!

Time for #cake! One way our animal care team creates enriching habitats is by providing special feeding opportunities like this frozen “cake” for the #gophertortoise. What’s your favorite frozen treat?

No, she's not feeling the rhythm. Head bobbing is commonly seen in male gopher tortoises and is a way to compete or communicate dominance. Although typically a male behavior, a female #gophertortoise can her assert dominance in a burrow by bobbing her head, too. #FrostScience

Gopher Tortoises are a keystone species. Over 350 other species rely upon them or their burrows, but what does that actually look like?

Construction for our new Training Center near Crestview revealed what #Ecologist Kelly Mandello says could be one of the deepest #gophertortoise burrows recorded in Florida - 49 feet in length. All the tortoises have been safely excavated and relocated! ⭐️💚🐢 @myFWC #wildlife

Tiny torts come out of the 🥚 soft & a little squished. This little #gophertortoise is still un-squishing. It'll be years before their shell hardens completely & more than a decade before they're making little hatchlings of their own ❤
