Now that we know where to find the tortoises, we went 4 times to find them. One day we saw 3, then another time 10, the next time zero, and the last time we saw 4. You never know how many will be out. We go on the Berm trail in Ivins, Ut. We studied and found out some interesting facts about them. When we took Rocky out there, we found a pretty big one, and it walked very fast over to him and was trying to eat his red shoes. He moved around, and each time it did the same thing. And down the trail we found another one, and it did the same thing. So we came home and looked it up, and found out they loves colors like red and orange, and they will go up to the shoes and try to eat them because they think it is a cactus... They are usually out in late April /May, and come out of their dens when it is cooler. We have found all sizes, from the size of our hand, to some that are 12-14 inches long. It is fun to watch them eat the plants. They love to come out after a rainstorm.
