Hi,
I have a couple of questions about tortoise behaviour in the wild, particularly Hermann's but I suspect it wouldn't differ too much. I haven't been able to find much at all by googling it.
Do parents stay with and look after their young? If so, how long?
How do baby tortoises survive in the wild? They seem so vulnerable! Especially if I am correct in understanding that they don't hibernate for long in the winter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
James
