Groups plan legal challenge to seek endangered status for gopher tortoise in 4 states, including SC
Gopher tortoises imperiled by loss of habitat, environmental groups say. Fish and Wildlife Service decided last year not to list them as endangered or threatened. Tortoises have lost 97% of longleaf pine savannas where they lived for millions of years. The burrows they dig with shovel-like front legs support 360 other species.
