He said: &#8220;They woke up&#8221;. We all knew what this meant. Hermanni tortoises (also known as Hermann&#8217;s tortoises) woke up from winter hibernation and came out from the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tortoises dig wholes under ground and sleep most of the autumn and winter. Grandparents always come out first. Some of them are more half century old. Then the younger ones pop their heads from the ground, followed by the new born babies, smaller than a palm of a hand. We wash them all and then the feast begins. They eat and eat and eat. Then they just lay down under the sun and do what tortoises do best &#8211; relax. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4px|||||&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Protected animals<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;justify&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The most important thing you should know about Hermanni tortoises is that they are <a href=\"https:\/\/croatia.hr\/en-GB\/experiences\/nature\/protected-animals-in-croatia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protected species in Croatia<\/a>.\u00a0These tortoises are a frequent inhabitant of gardens in the Dalmatian region.
