#TortoiseTuesday? Desert Tortoise, Gopherus agassizii. State reptile of California. Despite these peaceful herbivores living in areas humans mostly don’t want to be in, we have still managed to impact them negatively. Such a gift to see one out roaming. #herps #tortoise #deserttortoise #fieldwork

Threatened desert tortoises are thriving at Nevada's 7,100-acre Gemini Solar Project, finding shade under solar panels and moving freely thanks to specially raised fence sections! 🐢☀️ #WildlifeConservation #SolarEnergy #DesertTortoise
Threatened desert tortoises are now living inside Nevada’s 7,100 acre Gemini Solar Project, with USGS photographing them using the solar panels for shade. Sections of the fence were raised eight inches so tortoises and other small wildlife can pass underneath

One of my favorite indicators of Tucson spring! Mr. T woke up! He’s our 50-some year old Desert Tortoise and has been sleeping since late October. He’s groggy now, but in no time he will be romancing my rocking chair and demanding treats. #deserttortoise #reptile #desertdweller #tucson #arizona

Spring is official in our house when Hogla has emerged. She was late coming out this year, but, alas, she is alive and well - going on 38 years with me.

At a glance the desert tortoise may look like a slow moving reptile that just aimlessly meanders through life. But I’d argue that these tortoises (like other reptiles) are much smarter than we tend to give them credit for🧵.⤵️

I get to sight one everyday with my #deserttortoise Harley in our backyard. Got her right out of the egg from a friend's mating pair (the only way to get them, since you cannot take them from the wild, can't buy them, can't release). She's a sweetie. And bigger than this old picture. 28 yrs old now

Tortoises may only achieve water balance once a year or, in extreme cases, once every two years. This phenomena is called anhomeostasis!
