Two of the four tortoises - Sammy and Mr. T (Ms. T??). I came upon Mr. T a few months ago. He was leisurely walking on the sidewalk in front of our home. I collected him and he has been living in our courtyard ever since. About 2 weeks ago, I adopted 3 tortoises from the Al Ain Zoo: Sammy, Tortuga and Mo. These torts, along with many others, were turned over to the Zoo by border patrol. The torts were to be euthanized because of the surplus.
The clan of desert tortoises appear to be happy and healthy. I believe we have one male. At least, he is the only one demonstrating male tendencies.
