Oh how precious! That’s a baby Gopher tortoise. They are protected here in Florida. Gopher tortoises are endangered in Florida due to habitat loss from human development. Gopher tortoises nest from late April to mid-July, laying clutches of 5-9 eggs. Only about 25% of eggs hatch in the wild, and only 10% of hatchlings survive their first year. The gopher tortoise is a moderate-sized, terrestrial turtle, averaging 9-11 inches in length when fully grown, though it can reach lengths of up to 15 inches. The species is identifiable by its stumpy, elephantine hind feet and flattened, shovel-like forelimbs covered in thick scales. Hatchling (
Yay Maddie and Brodie. You saved Yertle The Turtle 🐢. You are so good the the creatures around The Stately Dane Manor. A wonderful way to start the new year. Love and Prayers from Orillia Ontario 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸✝️🙏🤗🦴🦴🦴🐺🧸💕

My mamma Beagle used to bring in frogs. They weren't hurt, and when I caught her bringing them in; their legs would be hanging out of her mouth. She never hurt them and I would have to take them back outside. She looked so funny carrying them around, poor frogs. 🐸
Hmmm... roasted turtle is perhaps a snack that is way to crunchy. Another thing is that the sex of a turtle (as far as I know) is determined by the temperature in which the egg is being brooded). But with a bit of training - the property could be protected as a natural habitat?
It is actually a gopher tortoise. The gopher tortoise is a species of tortoise in the family Testudinidae. The species is native to the southeastern United States. The gopher tortoise is seen as a keystone species because it digs burrows that provide shelter for at least 360 other animal species.
@@MaxandKatietheGreatDanes The gopher tortoise is unique in that it is Federally listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act only in the portion of its range occurring west of the Mobile and Tombigbee Rivers in Alabama (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1987). The gopher tortoise has some form of state-level protection in each state which it occurs and is a State-designated Threatened species in Florida (see Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species Rule).
In Eastern culture, turtles are believed to bring good fortune so finding a turtle at the turn of the year means good things to come!
