Truck drives over lot littered with gopher tortoise burrows

May 25, 2022 | Gopher Tortoise, In the News

Neighbors in one Cape Coral neighborhood say they’re keeping an eye out for a pick up truck caught on camera driving through an empty lot that’s bustling with gopher tortoise burrows. 

A neighbor’s Ring camera caught a truck driving through the lot at 1019 Tropicana Pkwy West in Cape Coral last week and they say this isn’t the first time they’ve been caught doing it. 

Anne Marien Faraminan lives directly next to the lot littered with at least 10 marked gopher tortoise burrows. She says she’s saved a gopher tortoise hit on the street but watching someone drive through the clearly marked lot makes her angry.
