Family

An Egyptian tortoise’s family is quite interesting. An Egyptian tortoise only has about 1 to 5 babies at a time. It lives with the turtle family to survive in the wild. Egyptian tortoises only live to be 10-20 years old. Eggs are laid in shallow bowls dug under bushes. This is good news especially when it hides its eggs to protect it.

Predator/Prey/AdaptAn Egyptian tortoise is an endangered animal. We can help to save Egyptian tortoises by making sure they are not eaten by different animals. It has a couple of predators because it is the second smallest tortoise in the whole family. Eagles and hawks eat them. People are illegally selling them to be house pets. This is good to know because they are getting to be extinct.
