Notes
This male Berlandier's tortoise had its gular horn partly broken off and regrown to some extent. It also had several chips around the gular area. I located this tortoise 8 days later about 70 yards north of where I had seen it last. This time its beak was stained red with prickly pear cactus fruit.
