The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is a species of the Gopherus genus native to the southeastern United States. The gopher tortoise is seen as a keystone species because it digs burrows that provide shelter for 360 other animal species.They are threatened by predation and habitat destruction.he taking of gopher tortoises for sale or use as food or pets has also had a serious effect on some populations.
