Desert Tortoise
​

The Desert Tortoise is an elusive animal of the dry Mojave Desert. Shy and charismatic, this is an reptile you can't help but love. Sadly, years of love combined with increased humans in the desert, and a change in the predator community has resulted in a dangerous drop in tortoise populations. Currently, the Desert Tortoise is an federally endangered species. We have compiled more information on a page dedicated to these reptiles. 

PUBLICATIONS
