FWC: Stop putting
gopher tortoises in water
Florida wildlife
officials want residents and visitors to know that not all turtles can swim.
The Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission reported Friday that there were at least three
instances last month of people "helping" gopher tortoise hatchlings
to the ocean. Gopher tortoises cannot swim well and can easily drown.
I know a dummy from
Uncasvillage that tried to give his "Land Lord" a bath because she
was so dirty, full of mud!
It took Harriett
about a month to forgive me on that one, mean while I checked "Doctor
Google" and found out that gopher tortoises life in the ground and do not
like water!
That was about 15
years ago.
Remember Ishi cannot
swim!
