Captain Redfoot, a South American tortoise is Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife’s September “Volunteer of the Month.”

Twenty-five year-old “Captain” lives in Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife’s Butterfly House. For eight years, he has delighted and educated hundreds of visitors from all over the world.

Children often ignore the butterflies and make a beeline for the beloved reptile, eager to feed, pet, or take a “shelfie.” CCFW offers the widely popular “Walk with the Captain,” on Fridays at 10:30 a.m. Meet the Captain and enjoy gorgeous native butterflies inside the Butterfly House on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, at 10:30 a.m.
