We had two gopher tortoise releases yesterday on Gopher Tortoise Day! Both were found looking unwell and struggling. The patient from Marco Island was in our care since February 15th and the other tortoise was in the hospital since December 29th. It’s been a long time coming for these tortoises, but it was rewarding watching them be back in their natural habitat. Thank you Brittany P. for helping us with the releases. #gophertortoiseday #wildliferehab #wildliferelease #keystonespecies #threatene

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

Odd couple: Florida mouse, gopher tortoise have been rooming for centuries

Hatchlings emerge from the nest from late August through early November and face immediate threats. As TNC’s Sid Godfrey explains, TNC’s efforts to protect and restore the gopher tortoise population begins with collecting tortoise eggs from the wild. We thank the Mississippi Army National Guard for providing funding as well as logistic
