Description
I found this cute baby tortoise nearly ten feet away from the burrow. I believe its mother was not aware that one of its babies had wandered away from the burrow. Land tortoise is common wild animal in Florida especially in local parks.
Tortoises (/ˈtɔːr.təs.ɪz/) are reptile species of the family Testudinidae of the order Testudines (the turtles). They are particularly distinguished from other turtles by being land-dwelling, while many (though not all) other turtle species are at least partly aquatic. Like other turtles, tortoises have a shell to protect from predation and other threats. The shell in tortoises is generally hard, and like other members of the suborder Cryptodira, they retract their necks and heads directly backwards into the shell to protect them.
