A friend sent me this random stock photo from facebook. What type of tort is it?

It looks like a Desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii to me.

Thanks Danny. I was sort of thinking the same thing. The shell looks a bit like a sulcata, but not the body/face.

EKM~ a friend sent me the pic, I just wanted to know what type of tort. It's beautiful, isn't it?

It could also be a Gopher tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus, It's hard to tell with the angle of the head.
