is that pile that the tortoise is sitting on a nest mound?
if so, how does she make it? does she just keep pushing yard debris into the pile like a little bulldozer until it seems correct to her?
also, if you're written this before, i apologize, but i don't remember whether you've ever mentioned how they regard their offspring. does she show any interest in the hatchlings at all, or does she disregard them once they hatch?
i find it so amazing how you've described their defensiveness of the nests, especially since they are one of (if not the?) oldest chelonians...
