You have a beautiful collection of spottings so far! I noticed that you know the ID of most of your organisms but the scientific name is missing. Please add the scientific name to the spottings to make them complete. Without the scientific name, the Project Noah database considers your spotting unidentified. Having the scientific name included also allows your spotting to be found more easily on searches of the site.

The scientific name for the Gopher Tortoise is Gopherus polyphemus.

If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page to find the guidelines for posting: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

Thanks! :-)
