A friend of mine’s neighbor found this tortoise in her yard. Can anyone identify it? Thanks! (Los Angeles)

CDT?
California desert tortoise?
And if so, it may be a protected species.
I'd let it wander back out the same way it wandered in.

[emoji26] Some one must be stricken with grief! You should make fliers or post on a community page in your area.
She is posting on “Nextdoor” which I’ve seen find 2 lost tortoises their homes quickly in the past. Thank you for identifying!

I just "discovered" that NEXT DOOR app.
It's pretty cool.

That Russian Tortoise has not missed a meal!
I lost my tortoise twice (shameful, I know) and both times Diego was found and returned thanks to Nextdoor! It's so useful.
That IS a chunky tort!
