Is that a gopher tortoise maybe? We get them here in our area of Florida. They are a protected species here and make burrows in open fields and sloping swale areas. They can grow quite large. Interesting.
Interesting to hear about gopher tortoise Nancy.....'the husband' thought it was a box turtle. Though it did look like it was trying to burrow into the ground, we thought that was a reaction to our dog. It wasn't far from the creek that's on our property....which is bubbling away nicely with all the rain we've had lately. Tx's for your insight!
