Here are a few shots of wild desert tortoises from the Fort Irwin headstarting study. I'll be heading out there tomorrow (Saturday) to track them. Should be a nice hot day...

Leslie said:Great pictures. I have a few questions. How big is the test area and how many tortoises are you tracking in the area? Are they mixed with other wild tortoises or is it exclusively the juveniles that you released there? Regarding the hatching of eggs, were they collected and moved to the predator proof pen for hatching or were they laid there? Thanks for the inside info. it is so interesting and such an important study.
