Meeting the New Neighbor

We recently became acquainted with our new neighbor, Tortugas, down our street.

The large gopher tortoise was named by the property owner. Tortugas, as far as we can tell, is a squatter, but everyone seems to be okay with this arrangement. The burrow is at the edge of the storm ditch and quite visible from the road. We now know to look for it as we go  by. Welcome to the neighborhood, buddy!
