Gopher Tortoise
"Crusty" is a lucky tortoise. He lives on someone's
property and comes and goes unmolested. However, hundreds are killed each year when
their
homes are bulldozed for development. As a result, they're classified as a species of
special concern.
This gopher tortoise for example, was not so lucky. He was brought in from a new
development site under construction, where his home (and life) was
destroyed.
Obviously he had to be euthanized. |
