Gopher Tortoise - HTTT

The gopher tortoise is a species of turtle in the family Testudinidae. The species is native to the southeastern United States. The gopher tortoise is seen as a keystone species because it digs burrows that provide shelter for at least 360 other animal species. Wikipedia

Found this one along the Withlachoochee Trail . He stopped to pose on his way back to his burrow in the ground.
