    Well done - very informative. Will be looking for when hiking. Especially like parts on how I can help!! Did not realize they were a Keystone species. Please keep these sessions coming. I am retired and training myself to be a "naturalist". The information you provide is extremely valuable to me!!

    That was very informative. Would have loved a bit more info on the babies and why they look so different. First time I saw one I thought someone had released a non native into the habitat.
    I also appreciate the knowledge on what to do for a dead one since I just found my first two days ago and the park phone did not answer.
    I did try to download the app but I cannot find it in the app store for FWL for gophers.
    Overall thank you!

    This was amazing. Theres three burrows on my road somewhat close together. Ive only seen the one tortoise and thats mah friend. Its been here since before me and I've been living in the same house for 21 years now. I literally came here to get some info about what they eat and such so i can plant some around but i got waaay more information than intended and I LOVED IT! Youre amazing!

    How often do they abandon their burrows

    I have several on my property that will need to be relocated. Are there any volunteer organizations that can assist me with this? The cost of having this done ranges in the thousands of dollars and I can not afford that.
