We’re celebrating #GopherTortoiseDay and the keystone species that supports entire ecosystems. Proud to work with South Florida Wildlife Center, Miami-Dade County EEL Program, @MDCEnvironment & @seabirdstation. 🐢⭐
What does the gopher tortoise say to other species before they settle into its burrow? Go-pher it. 🐢
That’s right, gopher tortoise burrows provide shelter for more than 350 other species.
This #GopherTortoiseDay, we’re shell-ebrating Florida’s only native tortoise! Individuals and organizations across Florida play an important role in helping us achieve our mission to conserve gopher tortoises and the commensal species that call their burrows home.
It’s Gopher Tortoise day! 🙌🏻🐢 🖤

Gopher Tortoises can be found all across Florida and are a burrowing tortoise, making burrows that average around 15 feet long and 6.5 feet deep. If you do happen to find a sick or injured tortoise, take a photo if possible & call (850) 921-1030.
Happy #GopherTortoiseDay 🐢 Like sea turtles, gopher tortoises are also a protected species in the state of Florida. Unlike sea turtles, gopher tortoises DO NOT live in the salty ocean. Make sure to brush up on the differences between the two species below!

🎉 Happy #GopherTortoiseDay! 🐢
For 60 million years, gopher tortoises have roamed Florida’s uplands, shaping the landscape and creating burrows that shelter hundreds of species. These gentle, long-lived reptiles play a vital role in our ecosystems, but they need our help.

Gopher tortoise burrows provide shelter for over 350 other species, so keeping these guys around is critical to Southwest Florida’s ecosystems. Learn about our gopher tortoise research: https://t.co/3dHOj3Pa24

It's #GopherTortoiseDay! These living relics of the SE US have shovel-like front legs, which they use to dig burrows that can be >45 feet long. These serve as homes for not only the tortoises themselves but also for 100s of other species.

Sometimes you just have to stop and... eat the flowers! 🌺
Hibiscus are a high-value forage food that tortoises seek out, preferring these plants over other available species in the wild! #GopherTortoiseDay
April 10th is GOPHER TORTOISE Day. I took this pic in March at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Pete, FL @BoydHillNP as part of a volunteer program headed by noted field biologist George Heinrich #gophertortoiseday #gophertortoise #tortoise
People all across Florida are doing wonderful things to protect #GopherTortises. From checking under cars before you drive, to getting your property declared a "Gopher Tortoise Friendly Yard", people just like you are helping to restore the population. #GopherTortoiseDay
