Notes:
Two adults were having a dispute over a burrow. The property next to us had just been bulldozed so the lucky tortoises that did not get killed or buried came into our yard. Until the new tortoises made their own burrows there would be multiple tortoises in each burrow. The pictured "argument" lasted several hours.
