Gopher Tortoises!

As a kid I grew up alongside gopher tortoises and they were just always cool to see.  I knew nothing about their protection so I would always pick them up and check if they were male or female by looking under them, checking for the indention that would signify its masculinity.  Even as a kid I got to watch two males fighting over territory and I ran in and separated them.  I was always taught that you shouldn't fight so my childish mind thought the tortoises shouldn't fight either.  When filming this episode some of the footage actually came from the land that I grew up on and possibly some of the same individuals that I played with as a kid.
