The Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri), is one of four species of tortoise that are native to North America.
G. berlandieri is found from southern Texas southward into the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.
The epithet specific berlandieri is in honor of the Belgian naturalist Jean Louis Berlandier, who worked for the Mexican government on one of the first biological surveys of Texas. As such, some sources refer to it as Berlandier's tortoise.
The Texas tortoise, unlike other species of gopher tortoise, are not adept burrowers. Its preferred habitat is dry scrub and grasslands. Succulent plants, a preferred food of the Texas tortoise, are common in these areas. They especially like the fruit of cacti such as the prickly pear.
Though considered an animal of low concern by the IUCN Red List, the Texas tortoise is listed as a threatened species in the state of Texas, and thus protected by state law. It is illegal to collect or possess them.
Texas /ˈtɛksəs/ (Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is a state in the United States of America. It is the second most populous and second largest state by area in the US. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with Mexico to the south and borders the states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2) and a growing population of over 27.5 million residents (July 2015).
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.

MY PACMAN FROG SAGA CONTINUES. Everyone was real curious after my "frog butt" video as to what the fate of Jupiter was. Sadly, after a few weeks of fighting he did not make it. I am so glad I got to give him a loving home for his last few weeks and hate that he was lost solely due to human error. If he wouldn't have been overfed at the pet shop, he wouldn't have passed away. But I'm happy to welcome my new handsome little pacman into my family and hope and pray everything goes well. I'm not going to lie, since this is my first time owning a frog other than the one that went terribly wrong, I am nervous! But I think all is going well. He's eating, loves to burrow, and seems content. Also, super stoked about my praying mantis. I've been looking for one for over a year. I asked all aroun...
