I saved not 1, but 3 desert tortoises out in gates pass today! They were in really bad spots on a windy road and I’m sure somebody woulda hit them if I didn’t carefully move them back into the desert. Please do not pick them up if you see them in the wild. And if you move them off the road, make sure you pick them up flat so you don’t empty their water reserves! They were all a hundred feet from eachother…makes me wonder if they escaped the desert museum 😂 #arizona #tucson #turtles #deserttorto

One minute of a desert tortoise walking for your viewing pleasure, coming right up. 🐢 Desert tortoises are tough survivors and have several adaptations that help them thrive in the dry heat. 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

Did you know you can adopt a desert tortoise if you’re an Arizona resident? We partner with Arizona Game and Fish to provide homes for surrendered captive desert tortoises that cannot be released into the wild. Captive tortoises can transmit diseases that can decimate the wild population, and they also face low survival odds. Is your yard a good fit for a tortoise friend like this cutie here? We are currently accepting adoption applications through September! We provide all of the necessary info

The desert tortoises are now brumating until night temperatures warm up in the spring. But this makes a perfect time to get outside and start preparing your yard with a burrow to adopt one when they wake up! 🐢 With the holiday season here, supporting desert tortoises can also make a meaningful gift. You can donate in someone’s name or honor, or explore adoption options anytime. Learn more about adoption or donating here: https://bit.ly/4qds8iF. | Arizona Game & Fish Department
