Happy Gopher Tortoise Day! Let’s get to know our Gopher Tortoise, Digger! Gopher tortoises have flattened feet and powerful claws to dig deep burrows that provide safety from predators and harsh weather. Many animals seek out safety, nesting, or shelter in burrows created by gopher tortoises; over 350 species have been documented to do so. Digger came to the River Museum after he was previously a pet for 35 years. Gopher tortoises have been known to live to 60 years of age in the wild, though ma

🎉 Happy #GopherTortoiseDay! 🐢 For 60 million years, gopher tortoises have roamed Florida’s uplands, shaping the landscape and creating burrows that shelter hundreds of species.

As part of our effort to educate the public about this important and wonderful creature, FWF has developed two signs that provide information about how to interact with this threatened species safely.

Come with us to graze the rehabbing gopher tortoises in our care! The gopher tortoises in our wildlife hospital are transported 2x a day from their outdoor enclosures to the open field on our campus for 20 minute grazings. They are examined carefully to make sure they are on the right path towards recovery. If you would like to help us at the wildlife hospital and graze gopher tortoises, consider becoming a volunteer! You can sign up to join our volunteer team by going to our website. #wildlifer

Hope you're having a tip-top Turtle Tuesday, everyone! You may never have heard of the Gopher Tortoise, but trust us, they're kind of a DIG deal. With spatula-like front claws that are just PERFECT for scooping up sand, these burrowing reptiles create lengthy underground homes that are used by hundreds of species in the pine forests of the American Southeast. That pivotal role has earned them the distinction among biologists as a "keystone species" and why every April 10 is celebrated as Gopher

Did you know Gopher Tortoises can live to be 75 years old?! They are environmental engineers who create important habitat for other wildlife! Huge thanks and shoutout to SCCF for their continued partnership! You may have seen these shell markings before on Florida Box Turtles admitted to the clinic who are a part of SCCF’s Florida Box Turtle Monitoring Project! Though Gopher Tortoises are no longer marked in this way, it’s pretty neat we are able to estimate an approximate age for this Sanibel r
