: 1. One population of T. g. graeca in S. Morocco. 30% of the population live in the Opuntia hedgerows next to planted fields of French beans and Alfalfa. All of these tortoises have classic "pryamiding" with evidence of very high growth rates and lumpy shells. The remaining tortoises live in uncultivated field borders and exhibit normal growth. You explanation, please?

This wouldn't have anything to do with high-phosphorus fertilizer being used on these fields, would it? Perhaps highly residual in the soil?
