Gopher Tortoise, Coming Out of It's Hole!

Caught this guy coming out of it's hole. Not sure what it does all day, but seems like it just comes out a little ways, and then goes back down in the hole.

How amazing, have you never seen it come out all the way and walk around? I wonder where it eats?

I have one of the huge old ones in my garden these last few days, eating the plants that it can reach ;-)

Never seen one this big and how strange his actions seem.

So interesting

Such a lovely fellow - but how strange!

Perfect moment

Nice shot of this one. I have never seen this tortoise in the wild.
