Gopherus polyphemus - Gopher Tortoise
Johnathan Dickinson SP, FL
A Florida endemic in pinewood flatlands. It's one of two species of Tortoise in the US, the second one lives in Texas. Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes often make use of their burrows, so if you see the one, be on the lookout for the other.
