Celebrate Gopher Tortoise Day on April 10^th.  Gopher Tortoises are considered a Keystone Species. As herbivores, Gopher Tortoises disperse seed through their scat that.  More than 350 species share their burrow for protection from weather, fires, and high temperatures.  These animals include indigo snakes, rattlesnakes, skunks, gopher frogs, wolf spiders, and burrowing owls.  The cover art depicts an arch with a keystone at the top. If the keystone is removed, the arch will collapse. Likewise, if the Gopher Tortoise is removed from its habitat, the ecosystem will collapse.
