Watch the dirt fly as this baby desert tortoise digs a wee little burrow. Escaping into burrows is a great adaptation that allows desert dwellers to even out extremes in temperature and moisture (not to mention the protection a burrow provides from predators). How do you cope with desert extremes? [NPS Video/Simone Steger; a small tortoise kicks dirt out behind as it digs and disappears into a burrow] | Joshua Tree National Park

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

While out hiking recently in the Mojave Desert of California I came across a desert tortoise burrow that was obviously in use. I could see where the tortoise had made tracks out of the borrow but then for some unknown reason, the tortoise made three large circular swirl areas in the sands near the borrow entrance. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Any guesses? | Aquachigger

Hopefully this video can help you build a burrow! This was for a Sulcata tortoise but we use the same design for a Sonoran Desert Tortoise, we just use a much smaller tube. | Arizona Tortoise Tubes

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
