Texas Gopher Tortoise Habitat
The Texas tortoises are distributed into habitats by age and sex. Adult males each have their own fenced enclosure with a covered shelter. They are separated to prevent them from fighting. The juveniles live as a group in a large grassy area. Adult females have the largest territory with grassy areas, agave plants for food and shelter, and a tree-shaded copse.
