Episode notes

Cars, cars a, habitat loss. Yaya, we're making too many mols. Ya a, they're just, they're being pushed out. So it's really sad to see, especially in south florida where there's just really high pressure to develop mam. And so they're getting relocated, but a lot of the other animals are getting left behind. No ah, so that research is important to protect them. What kind of measures are being taken? Right now to protect goe retorted, well, it's no longer omient in the past, you could basically just build on top of them.

We're bringing back one shell of an episode with today's encore. What's a tortoise? What's a turtle? Why do they live so dang long? What's up with their junk? Wildlife biologist and testudinologist Amanda Hipps studies gopher tortoises and dishes about turtle nomenclature, cliques, dicks, behavior, burrows, evolution, habitats and more. If you don't dig tortoises yet, you're about to fall deep into a turtle tunnel in love with them.
