What Is This Weird Desert Tortoise Behavior?

While out hiking recently in the Mojave Desert of California I came across a desert tortoise burrow that was obviously in use. I could see where the tortoise had made tracks out of the borrow but then for some unknown reason, the tortoise made three large circular swirl areas in the sands near the borrow entrance. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Any guesses?

About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my Youtube "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.

BTW, you can also catch me here, https://www.facebook.com/chiggsarmy/ ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.
