About This Episode
We’re bringing back one shell of an episode with today’s encore. What’s a tortoise? What’s a turtle? Why do they live so damn long? What’s up with their junk? Wildlife biologist and testudinologist Amanda Hipps studies gopher tortoises and dishes about turtle nomenclature, cliques, dicks, behavior, burrows, evolution, habitats and more. If you don’t dig tortoises yet, you’re about to fall deep into a turtle tunnel in love with them.
