🐢 Say hello to one of our SREL animal ambassadors, the gopher tortoise! These tortoises are native to the southeast and are herbivores meaning they enjoy a wide variety of plant material, including grasses, leaves, and fruits like this blueberry. These tortoises are considered to be a keystone species, which means their presence has a significant impact on their environment. Gopher tortoises dig deep burrows that offer shelter to over 350 other species such as frogs and snakes to small mammals

To celebrate #WildTurtleWeek, take a moment to appreciate this important ecosystem engineer: the gopher tortoise! More than 350 different species have been documented using the burrows that gopher tortoises create. As you can see in this video, these range from mammals, like the imperiled Florida mouse, to amphibians, like the secretive gopher frog!
