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

Arizona residents can apply to adopt, as long as you're ready to provide a proper burrow, a healthy diet, and follow all legal guidelines (no backyard breeding!).

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
