That is terrible!! My friends and family are also having a bad go with wildfires in MN. How tragic to lose any species, especially a rare one, and most especially a tortoise!Morning all.
Thunderstorms possible today and really looking forward to some rain but not holding my breath.... scattered only and it nearly always misses us. It been so dry and hot here as usual.
Nasty fire here last week....7000 people evacuated and 6000 hectares burnt....view from our terrace!! Luckily that's further away than it looks. It's under control now but still bits burning here and there. Lost some really rare species including a tortoise which is only found wild here

Have a good day all.![]()
Here's one positive.. next spring/summer go hunting for mushrooms in the burn area, and I think you will find a plethora of shrooms. At least that has been my experience.
