Random question about Russian torts: I was thinking about how Russians are also known as steppe tortoises, and although it looks like most of their natural range is in a desert or semi-desert region, as opposed to the steppe, there still appears to be grasses in the semi-desert area of their range. Yet the Russian tort diet is mainly broadleaf greens. Anyone know why they've never evolved to eat grasses?
