An x ray showing an adult desert tortoise with a large urolith on the left. A urolith is simply a kidney stone. In tortoises, they can grow to a lethal size. One of the adaptations that tortoises have that allows them to thrive in the arid desert environment is the ability to store large amounts of water in their bladder and to reabsorb it as the body needs it. As they reabsorb the water in their bladder, the solid particles in the bladder become more concentrated and can stick together. And BANG, a urolith develops.
