Archbold herpetologists have been studying Gopher Tortoises for nearly 60 years but the daily lives of this shy, burrowing reptile are only now coming into focus thanks to long-term tracking of individual tortoises. At this event, participants will learn about our research on tortoise behaviors via an indoor presentation, followed by a demonstration of how we radiotrack wild tortoises. Weather cooperating, our short hike will be rewarded with sightings of tortoises and a peek inside their burrows. For adults and children 12 and up.

No RSVP necessary, but appreciated.
