Red Dirt Tort

[chpete79]

I was on a social networking site and came upon something very interesting and beautiful. Hope they don't mind that I am "borrowing" their pics to share them with you guys.

Some areas of Oahu have a reddish clay dirt. This stuff gets on everything in the windy areas. They even use it to dye t-shirts for the tourists.

I said it stains everything it touches didn't I?

Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I did!

How does the color look so uniform?

I'd think it would be thicker/dustier in some spots...does it not get into the tortoise's eyes?

I'm not sure about the eyes. I'm sure it is the same amount of blowing dirt as anywhere else windy. Looks like he is doing just fine to me.
