Gus the Gopher Tortoise sitting at the front entrance to the Museum of Natural History

Gus the Gopher Tortoise has called #NovaScotia home for more than 80 years.

Gus is an ambassador for nature education and has inspired generations of museum visitors - join him for a walk today at 3pm and maybe you'll feel inspired as well 💚.

Photo description: a hand drawn version of Gus as an action figure/doll. The package is green, with red lettering at the top reading "Gus" and black lettering reading "the Gopher Tortoise". Then a piece of lettuce, log, banana, and profile of Gus are drawn. Underneath it reads *dirt not included.

A little Gus starter pack 💚. (We think he can find the dirt pretty easily).

This was drawn by an incredibly talented staff member. 👏👏👏

Imperial Forces arrive at the Museum of Natural History just in time to see Gus go for his daily walk (3pm).

Gus the Gopher Tortoise sitting on the grass.

Gus went outside for his walk today! First outdoor walk of 2025 and maybe a record - it's only April 30th.

Gus walks outside when it is above 20 degrees celsius and sunny. He loved chomping down on the grass today!
