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🧵.⤵️

for their sacrifice and hard work! They were always pretty upset with us after getting their blood drawn and the nasal lavage, so we had to appease them somehow.

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

A desert tortoise naps on a bed of rocks. He has his head pressed against a particularly large rock, his sleepy face is fully in view for the audience.

I don't have a lot of pictures for #tortoisetime as it's chilly and so everyone was pretty inactive. However! I did catch this sweetie having a nice long nap.

good people. As we came in we came up on this big male tortoise who had been absolutely feasting on the annuals and wildflowers popping up in the Ward Valley."

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.

Welcome to 2025, sassy old gal! 🌺🐢☀️

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

#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

Arizona has two native species of tortoise, the Sonoran desert tortoise, Gopherus morafkai; and the Mojave desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii. I am assuming this baby is the latter...because it's Mohave county.

Mojave Desert Tortoise populations have declined approximately 90% since 1970 and all remaining populations are on a path to extinction.

Mojave Desert Tortoise populations have declined approximately 90% since 1970 and all remaining populations are on a path to extinction.

Eight decades ago, the Mojave Desert was home to hundreds of tortoises per square mile. Today, most tortoise populations in the wild have fallen to 2 to 3 adults per square mile, largely due to climate change, loss of habitat and an increase in the raven population. I may have cut and pasted all that, but I wanted you to know...humans.

While I was scanning for the Dread Pirate Roadrunner yesterday afternoon, my hawk-like vision spied a small rock move...

...and it stole my heart. ❤️

Counts for #TurtleTuesday too. 🤘🥹
