Sonoran Desert Tortoise (Gopherus morafkai)Observer
zenbDescription
The tortoises are on the move, following late summer rains 2 days ago. This little one was wandering down the middle of the river crossing. The back of his shell near his tail was chipped off, and I couldn't see a tail.

While checking the trail I passed this little one. Very nice markings. It was just sitting in the middle of the trail when I saw it from about 10 meters away, not moving.
