This Gopher Tortoise (23-1839) was discovered by Fort Lauderdale residents because his shell had been painted with bright colors. Fortunately, he was in good health otherwise. Because tortoises and other turtle species absorb vitamins via the sun’s UV rays, paint on their shell can severely compromise their health and can also prevent them from camouflaging from predators. After 79 days in rehabilitation, his shell was back to its normal coloration and he was ready to return to the wild. Happy F

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! Hundreds of invertebrates also use the burrows, and some species cannot persist without them. To help support gopher tortoise conservation, FWC rese

Little Gopher Tortoise, Big Appetite 🥬🐢 This hungry juvenile is munching its way through vegetation and fueling up for a long life in the Florida wild. Gopher Tortoises can live up to 60 years in the wild and dig multiple burrows throughout their lifetime, creating shelter for hundreds of species in the process.

Take a look inside a gopher tortoise burrow! Biologists discovered a tortoise deep inside this burrow at Branan Field WEA in northeast Florida during a survey in December. Gopher tortoise burrows average 15 feet in length and 6.5 feet deep. The standard methodology we use is Line Transect Distance Sampling (LTDS) with burrow scoping that allows biologists to count actual tortoises and not just the burrows. Historically, the FWC counted burrows and estimated two burrows per tortoise. The LTDS met

Just popping in to tell you all about how to be a turtle-y good neighbor! Much like the gopher tortoise. Their burrows provide shelter for not only the tortoises themselves but for hundreds of other species, from endangered indigo snakes to gopher frogs and burrowing owls, which is why, as you’ll often hear, gopher tortoises are considered a keystone species. The species has experienced population decreases largely due to habitat loss, a threat shared by countless species in their range. Histori

Gopher Tortoise in golden hour sunlight at Circle B in Lakeland, FL from 5/17/2025. Gopher Tortoises are not native to Circle B but the habitat is prefect for them. They are brought to Circle B from places where there habitat has become too developed for them to thrive. Additionally, they are marked with a small amount of paint on their shells (as their shells are porous and they depend on them for both UV absorption and camouflage, it is illegal to paint their shells, other than trade researche
