Gopher Tortoise [Gopherus polyphemus]

    These two specimens, vying for ownership of the burrow, were photographed by Joel Wooster in Smyrna Dunes Park, Volusia County, Florida on 11/20/2008. Due to the lack of sufficient food in some areas, part of the parks tortoise populations is migrating to more suitable habitat - habitat that is already inhabited by the speies.
