 Gopher TortoiseThe Gopher tortoise is one of the oldest species on Earth, dating back to the Ice Age. Despite surviving the perils of geological time, the rate of decline for the species exceeded 30% over the past three decades due to harvesting of the species, which the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) prohibited in 1988 and the destruction of its burrows by plowing, bulldozing and paving. This drastic decline prompted FWC to list the gopher tortoise as threatened in 2007. Gopher tortoises live in high and dry places that people want to use, such as sparsely treed longleaf pine and oak sand hills, pastures, prairies, roadsides, scrub and coastal grasslands and dunes. The cold-blooded tortoise digs to escape the hot sun, cold weather and predators. The tortoise doesn’t lay its first eggs resembling pingpong balls until it is 10 to 15 years old. Adults grow to be about a foot long, weigh up to 30 pounds and live 40 to 60 years in the wild. Source: myfwc.com http://www.tampabaywatch.org/
