Oh my I have seen no end of tortoises in my life but I never knew that they burrow! How did you figure it out ☺️

I have seen them digging before and when they feel threatened. They crawl to their burrows.
Do you live in snow and ice. Or a warm climate?

I used to live in Cape Town (South Africa) and see tortoises on the mountains and sometimes they used to come down from mountains into our garden! We lived in a valley. The weather is really neither hot nor cold there, it seldom gets hotter than 35-degree celsius (I am not sure what that is in Fahrenheit). It just makes them more cute now that I know that they dig (what hard working little guys ;) )
You no longer live in Cape Town now?
What country or region do you live in now if you care to reveal?
Thank you
Francis
I live in Malta :) It's a tiny island near Italy in the Mediterranean.
Thank you my child.
I can call you that because I am so much older than you. lol
Thank you for trusting me enough.
I have read and heard some bad reports about Cape Town and surrounding areas. How true the reports are I am not sure.
It could be just news organizations trying to get attention by accenting the negative.
Whatever. I hope you are doing well in your new location and home.

Thank you :) I always love walking with you in this virtual space.
Cape Town is probably the most beautiful cities in the world (natural beauty). We never experienced any violent crime ourselves as we lived in a good neighborhood and we also knew where not to go. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of truth in the media reports about crime which does impact your quality of life (I used to be scared in our home, in case someone tries to break in) which is something that does not even cross my mind on this tiny island where we live now. Malta is not as beautiful as Cape Town but I suppose it is hard to find the perfect place in the world. We like that we pay our taxes here and they are not all going to few corrupt politicians.
Looking forward to seeing more walks from you.

You lovely child.
You do not have to be my biggest fan.
If you are a follower from time to time,
I will be very happy.
Thank you
