Their flattened front legs allow them to easily dig and create burrows to keep warm on cold nights and keep cool during the hot summer. They can also store water in their bladder and save it for emergencies. They obtain most of their moisture through food but still need a good drink every so often. When it

Male desert tortoises have the most testosterone of all reptiles. They can walk for miles every day looking for a fight, as combat is how they determine who's the alpha male. That's just another reason why this incredible creature needs a lot of wilderness in which to roam. This month we are hoping to acquire two areas in the Mojave that are "critical" desert tortoise habitat. To find out how you can help, go to our blog: http://bit.ly/2BONChJ | Mojave Desert Land Trust

The Sonoran Desert Tortoise are some of our less seen neighbors. They truly are amazing animals, and I’ve learned a lot after almost running this guy over with my mountain bike. Unlike the turtles I grew up around, don’t ever pick up a Desert Tortoise in the wild because it can release its stored water in its bladder when stressed. To give perspective, this Tortoise has only seen one rain since August! They live 50 to 80 years in the wild, and can exceed 100 years in captivity. | Jeremy Johnson
