Gopher tortoise burrow
Some burrows have been recorded at more than 20 feet deep and 50 feet long!
These burrows provide shelter for 360+ other animal species. This is why the Gopher Tortoise is considered a keystone species ("a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend, such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically") |
