Dustin Angell, Director of Education at Archbold Biological Station in Venus, Florida, captured this photograph of wildlife biologist Chelsea Moore demonstrating how to “scope” a gopher tortoise burrow. These burrows can be several yards long and are used by hundreds of animals, including insects, mammals, reptiles, and even birds. In the photo, Chelsea is seen inspecting a burrow in the Florida Everglades using a scope with a video camera on its end.
