Florida Tortoise Information:
The Florida tortoise, commonly known as the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), is a keystone species native to the southeastern United States, particularly Florida. This species is known for its burrowing behavior, which creates habitats for over 300 other species of wildlife, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. Gopher tortoises are herbivores, feeding primarily on grasses, fruits, and flowers, and they can live up to 60 years or more in the wild. As a slow-moving and long-lived species, they are highly vulnerable to habitat destruction and are currently listed as a threatened species. Their burrows provide essential shelter and contribute to the ecosystem’s biodiversity, making conservation efforts critical to their survival.
