Oh the "habitat" thing gets interesting at times.
At one point the State of California decided the desert tortoises at 29 Palms needed to be undisturbed to encourage mating so they needed to have something like a 500m exclusion zone established around each and every tortoise. Before the actual legislation mandating this was actually passed some enterprising Jarheads collected every tortoise on the base and moved them to an out of the way corner of the base. Needles to say the the eco freaks had a fit. But ahh well, what can you do, it was already done and no way to tell which tortoise came from where. So rather then most of the base being closed down only this out of the way corner was, and still is.
