Did your Tuesday need some baby gopher tortoises eating berries? Well, here you go. These baby gopher tortoises are part of a special headstart program designed to help boost wild populations. Gopher tortoises are most vulnerable as hatchlings. So Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery gives them a cozy little house for a couple years. When they are bigger and less likely to become a snack for a hungry predator, they will be released into protected habitat. In the mean time, hatchlings enjoy baskin

Gopher tortoises are one of the world's oldest living species, belonging to a group of land tortoises that evolved in North America 60 million years ago. But by 2100, a study has found, they could be nearly extinct without meaningful intervention. The study reveals that the Fish and Wildlife Service used a flawed population model to deny tortoises federal protection in 2022. Now we’re in court to reverse that denial, but we need your help to make sure the agency follows the science. Tell the Ser

Gopher tortoises do so much for our ecosystems, which is why we’re starting our biggest gopher tortoise habitat enhancement project yet! 🐢 💪 Gopher tortoises need open-canopy, sandy habitats with low grasses and vegetation. In Florida, these habitats are in decline, so we’re making a few of our own! Join us as we clear overgrown vegetation, plant native species, and restore habitat for gopher tortoises on our preserve lands this fall and winter by signing up to volunteer with us: https://sccf.

As one of the oldest living species on the planet, gopher tortoises are now threatened. Nesting season is from May to mid-July, with typical clutches of 4-8 eggs. 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

Happy Gopher Tortoise Day! Let’s get to know our Gopher Tortoise, Digger! Gopher tortoises have flattened feet and powerful claws to dig deep burrows that provide safety from predators and harsh weather. Many animals seek out safety, nesting, or shelter in burrows created by gopher tortoises; over 350 species have been documented to do so. Digger came to the River Museum after he was previously a pet for 35 years. Gopher tortoises have been known to live to 60 years of age in the wild, though ma

Why Is This Gopher Tortoise Head-Banging?

National Geographic

This baby Gopher Tortoise was found crossing a dirt road after visiting a conservation site. Baby gopher tortoises are becoming harder to find as their population become too old to reproduce and their habitats become more fragmented. Seeing one in the wild is often a positive sign for the local population and habitat conditions.🐢 📸Quentin Fairchild | Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

How We're Protecting Gopher Tortoises

We are caring for a young gopher tortoise with a squishy shell! The patient is the larger of the two hatchlings in the video. The tortoise (patient 25-4846) was brought to us after being found with injuries to its carapace. Upon examination, we determined that the tortoise's carapace and plastron (upper and lower shell) were softer than expected, suggesting a possible nutritional deficiency. We often admit hatchling tortoises that have been taken in by well-meaning individuals who mistakenly bel
