Baby desert tortoises do not hibernate. They have a more active lifestyle compared to adult desert tortoises and do not require hibernation to survive the colder temperatures. Instead, they regulate their body temperature by moving to warmer or cooler areas in their habitat.

Tortoises infact do sometimes fight, mainly the desert. the males are very territorial and some females
The animals that eat the desert lily are desert animals. Some examples of these animals are insects, reptiles, and tortoises.
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.
