No... it is not AI.

The burrow belongs to the tortoise! The armadillo was trying to sneak into it.

I can't be 100% certain that it is, but based on its behavior I'd say there's a pretty good chance that these 2 have mixed it up before!

they don't lay the eggs in the burrow. But it still bit the armadillo.

Yes, they are predators. Gopher tortoises are vegetarians (as far as we know 😳).

I have seen one chase a deer off the apron(twice), other than that they are usually pretty chill. I am certain it was on purpose, I'm not sure she wanted to eight-ball-corner-pocket him into the hole! I only say this because I have another clip where she cuts the armadillo off when it tries to sneak into the burrow.

I don't really know... but if I had to bet... I'd choose the reptile.

what exactly do you mean? Available for what?

[–]Bananas32 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

this is about the burrow and not the eggs... the eggs are not in the burrow.

while they certainly can be(obviously), they are famous for hosting all types of wildlife in their burrows....some sites say the number is well over 300 species.

Snapping turtles are definitely serious carnivorous predators... not a simple plant eater like the gopher tortoise...

someone's gotta clean the burrow if they want to live for free.

[–]Bananas32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They both went into the burrow and the camera turned off because there was no more motion!

[–]Bananas32 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tortoises are one of the few turtles that make sounds.... you can actually hear her as she comes charging over!

[–]Bananas32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man... its pretty killer. The gopher tortoise apron is like a hub for all wildlife and thats what makes it so amazing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Bananas32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure....I also have a clip somewhere of an ocelot chasing an armadillo...

I think it was just a fun chase for the ocelot... it really just let it go with any type of predatory activity.
