Six more weeks of winter! Emerging from his burrow, the gopher tortoise sees his shadow. Wait..that doesn't sound right. 🤔😆

A gopher tortoise in the grass. The tortoise is positioned diagonally from the top right to the center of the photo. Its shell is mostly brown with some grey spot, with several lines through it. The tortoise has its head out of the shell and up and its legs are spread out in both directions in front of it. Grass and other plants are in front of it and at the left.

Tortoise eating green plants. The tortoise is dark grey. It has a beaked snout and large claws; its hard shell is somewhat covered in dirt and mud. The background is green grass and other plants.

A bright yellow, baby Gopher Tortoise makes its way along the sandhills, leaf litter and wiregrass in the background.
Exciting news for Gopher Tortoises!
The Georgia #GopherTortoise Conservation Initiative recently reached its goal of permanently protecting 65 tortoise populations across the state!

It’s a great time to see Gopher Tortoises in Lyonia Preserve. Monthly hikes will begin again soon with the Lyonia Environmental Center, and the Lyonia Photography Club will also be hosting excursions to get great shots like these.

I partnered with Merritt Island Wildlife Association to create this fun & interactive learning tool to help teach children of all ages about the importance of the gopher tortoise, a keystone species. #gophertortoise #keystonespecies #gophertortoisesdontswim #education #digitalinkdesignandprinting

Gus the Gopher Tortoise sitting at the front entrance to the Museum of Natural History
Gus the Gopher Tortoise has called #NovaScotia home for more than 80 years.
Gus is an ambassador for nature education and has inspired generations of museum visitors - join him for a walk today at 3pm and maybe you'll feel inspired as well 💚.

A gray-black tortoise rests on white-gray sand. Green coastal vegetation frames the bottoms of the photo, while the edge of the tortoise's burrow is barely visible in the top right corner of the frame. The texture of the scutes on the shell is intricately lined with annuli, radiating out from the center of each scute.
An adult male Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) from Sarasota County, Florida, USA. Note the large gular projection of the plastron below the head, used for dueling other males in ramming contests. #herps #turtles #GopherTortoise #HerpPhotography

Gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are not currently protected under the Endangered Species Act for most of their range. Errant model predictions have underestimated threats to gopher tortoise populations. Image credit: Shutterstock/Matthew Yoder.
Opinion: Flawed models can lead to flawed conservation policies—with real consequences for endangered species. We need better ways to reevaluate decisions before it’s too late. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Opinion: #Conservation policies often rely on models and data that may later prove flawed. Without systems to reassess and revise, endangered species like the #gophertortoise could suffer. Here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Met this tiny trail boss today, a baby gopher tortoise out exploring. Slow, steady, and federally protected.
