Desert Tortoise

The neighbors, not the grizzlies, black bears and elk we are used to, but they will do in a pinch. Our first sighting of 2008. Shows his bottom plate well. Desert Tortoise, Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, April, 2008

Too Cute!

Terrific photo! They are so hard to come by in the desert. You were so lucky.

Re: Too Cute!

so, so tempted...I need one in my yard....I will buy it tons of toys and rub its shell everyday, I promise! (I sound like my kids when we nursed one with a broken shell back to health...not wanting to turn it back loose) Cheers
