[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 387479, member: 4362"] Don't know how many people have ever seen one of these but I have always been intrigued by them. They are relatives of sea turtles and some say that were left on land when the oceans receded. (Don't know if latter is true but it would explain their flipper-like front feet.) This one is a male and he weighs about 8 pounds. I've named him "Herbie" since I can't figure out where to put the ear tag.:lol: Herbie strolls through one of my lush hayfields. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/Gopher2.jpg[/img] Closeup of his feet. (Before the flogging begins, let it be known -I turned him back over) The protusion on the front of his shield is what he fights with. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/feet.jpg[/img] Here's a link if you are interested.
