What does a desert tortoise do when it needs to cool off?

Answer 1

It sits in the shade and sips a frozen Margarita. Just kidding!! Tortoises tend to feed in the cool of morning and it is then that they are most likely to be seen walking in the open.
When it is hot, tortoises may be found resting in the shade of a shrub or in the mouth of their burrow.(sipping a frozen Margarita)^_^
