Gopherus polyphemus
Saw him scooting down my side yard lickety split. Followed him until he found a hole under the fence. Acted like he was looking for food.
I already have another picture of one with it's burrow, much bigger than this one. Burrows are easy for them to build in our sandy soil They are protected.
Gopher Turtles originated in North America 60 million years ago.
