The radiated tortoise has an exquisite shell pattern like other "star-patterned" tortoises. The pattern serves as effective camouflage. Here is an example, though the pics were taken on a cloudy day. A sunny day would make the tortoises even harder to find as you would there would be a dappling effect of shadows and light.
