Meet the Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Gopher tortoises are an important part of the Scrub ecosystem. They act like engineers, digging burrows that change the landscape and provide homes for other native species such as indigo snakes and Florida mice. Gopher Tortoise burrows are safe places that other animals depend on during the regular fires in the Scrub. 📸: Anna Crocitto | Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation
