Description:
Description: Another frisky gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) munching, crunching and bulldozing through the scrub at Juno Dunes Natural Area. This one was on a mission and plodded right past me without a care. She eats a variety of plants (especially legumes & grasses), flowers, mushrooms, fallen fruit and sometimes even insects and carrion. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_tortoise.
