Today I was driving on a local well traveled road and saw a gopher tortoise crossing the road and could not get up over the hump. I was going the opposite direction and turned around as soon as possible to help the tortoise get over the hump. On my way to him, a large truck ran over him, I was devastated! I stopped and removed the tortoise to the side, after I got closer it was not a gopher but it was an adult yellowfoot torotise. SAD, SAD, DAY!
