A desert tortoise primarily uses its shell as a crucial body part for survival. The shell provides protection from predators and harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures. Additionally, the tortoise can burrow into the ground to escape the heat and conserve moisture, utilizing its strong limbs for digging. These adaptations help it thrive in its arid habitat.
