Pictures of Poko Ono, Mother Tort.

Poko was a rescued California Desert tortoise that came into Project Wildlife when I was working there. She makes a nest every year under a lime tree, which is not doing well because of the burrow and the drought, but somehow we manage to keep it alive. As soon as I can Churchy will be found and his picture taken, and Lucky, their baby also. He has green eyes like his mother. Churchy has dark brown eyes. Most of the babies had brown eyes, for those wondering about Tortoise genetics.
