Greek tortoise nesting video

[TylerStewart]

We posted this video to the TortoiseSupply.com Facebook page a few days ago, but thought I'd add it here also for any that missed it. I caught this girl laying last week and had a camera handy so I threw it behind her and got the process on video. I turned the 35 minute video over to my wife and said "make it 3 minutes" and she did a good job with fast-forward playback and cutting out un-needed parts. Enjoy!

Thanks, Tyler. Its so amazing how "tender" they can be with their back legs, and not even be able to see what they're doing back there. I watched a rescued RES place her eggs into the nest by catching them with her back foot and gently placing it in the hole. Nature is a wondrous thing to watch.
