Regular visitors to this site are familiar with Lovely Lucretia, Tucson's favorite (and perhaps most famous!) desert tortoise. I checked in with her humans recently and they sent these new photos of Lucretia out for a stroll in their backyard. Isn't she wonderful??

Amazing, isn't it, the kind of wildlife which has adapted to desert living and thrives in it? My mom had a desert tortoise named Toby, who loved grapes and Kale lettuce and being scratched on the top of his head!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jerry and Marni for these photos :-) She looks SO determined!
