Nesting Tortoises

[HermanniChris]

I put some new videos at www.youtube.com/gardenstatetortoise

I wasn't able to get the majority of the tortoises that nested this year on film but did get these two.

Here's direct links for some of them:

Wow Chris thanks for sharing those with us I think it is so interesting the differences in the nests that each one builds. And the movements that they do with their back legs as if they are testing to see if they are all in the nest, or if it is full yet. Kinda lets pack them in there and make room for more. Great videos.
