Wow I never knew about the gopher tortoises battle for a mate

[@myfloridaourplanet.444]

They sure do ! And also for territorial rights. But at least they end up with tortoise civility. 🙂🐢🐢 Awesome comment Mr. Mike !

How nice and beautiful that they live there in the wild with you. And yes I did know that sometimes they fight at a mate or to protect an environment. I was told that in a reptile house I had visited a while ago. It certainly was a beautiful turtle you filmed and also that you photographed the battle. thanks for sharing. Gr, Tine NL wish you lovely days for each day.

It's always such an honor to share. The facets of the natural-creative world are truly causes for awe & wonder. I love these gentle-natured tortoises and calling attention to a protected species was personally important to me. Thank you for such insightful comments !!!

You are always running across such cool animals! I knew these fought to overturn each other, but never knew they would flip the defeated tortoise back over. A great Tortoise Tale, it must have been fun to see. Have a wonderful day!😊❤

Greetings Derek ! It was fascinating to watch. I felt bad for the poor fellow being rolled over & over, but at least he had a sturdy shell ! And I love that instinct to make sure the opponent could go on its merry way once defeated. Your comments were awesome. Thank you so much. May you 'all have a most fantastic day as well ! 🌞🐢🐢❤
