It depends on the animal. Mine live in something like a mini-pack, and if you see one of them, another one is likely to be close by. They can be hostile too, like when my female hissed at a new tortoise and wouldn't let him get near any of the others. With some time, they got used to each other and she ignores him. Most though get along fine by themselves although I would think they'd like occasional company.
i"m awesome
They live for about 80 years
no. they all come from the same ansester, but they all from (mostly) different countries and backgrounds
The Indonesian star tortoise and a breed similar to the leopard tortoises, I believe are endangered and illegal. So is the desert tortoise, except it's native and there are adoption programs.
Tortoises need to put on weight before going into hibernation.
I believe leopard tortoises are somewhat similar, although the coloring is much different and leopard tortoises are the 5th largest tortoises in the world. Actually, none, sorry. Desert Tortoises are all too often carriers of Mycoplasma Agassizii and other tortoise species have no built in defense against that. They are also very sensitive and susceptible to other tortoise species specific disease/parasitic issues and mixing of different species of tortoises is not recommended for just this reason. Groups specific to desert tortoises and their care, issues, etc. can be found in the related links.

Infact, All tortoise types to not need another tortoise for company. You can though. But dont be suprised if they get into a fight :)
gopher tortoises are just one of the many inhabitants of the upland ecosystem
Yes tortoises need at least one hide in there enclosure so if it gets to hot they can hide somewhere to cool down or even sleep
Because Anatolian Leopard is the BEST LEOPARD. It rocks.
An leopard can weigh between 66-155 lbs.Males can weigh up to 200lbs, females 130lbs - according to wikipedia.
Well, it depends on the type of tortoise you have. If you have a sulcata or leopard tortoise they can live in your backyard if you have a lot of room for them to roam. If you have a tropical tortoise like a red-footed tortoises you would need to put him either in a big tropical cage or in a tropical backyard.
