The desert tortoise is one of the most elusive inhabitants of the desert, spending up to 95 percent of its life underground. Desert tortoises range in size from two inches to fifteen inches and have a high-domed shell, which is brown, grey, or black. The tortoise has powerful limbs equipped with claws to dig its underground burrows, and its front limbs are protected with a covering of thick scales. For protection, it can completely withdraw its head and limbs inside its shell, leaving only horny scales visible to its predators. You can build your own desert tortoise with our 214-piece mini block set.
