Field Notes

Description:

Gopher tortoise skeleton.
Deep under a fallen tree, had to do a lot of crawling to get bone to measure them.

Habitat:

A very wild pine upland park. The park was right on a highway but I get the feeling very few people visit it, me and my dad were the only two people there when we went despite it being a larger (and beautiful) park.
