A mango tree

But what's this?
A hole?

Is it? Could it possibly be...is that an egg in the hole?

But wait...it's a hatched egg!

It's not just an egg...it's a tortoise egg !

It is now the time again for the tortoises to start appearing in our yard. This will be our 4th year. The past three years 31 have hatched. My mother found #32 and #33 around the hole area, then dug up and found this one still hatching and another egg still buried.
