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.

Unlike the turtles I grew up around, don’t ever pick up a Desert Tortoise in the wild because it can release its stored water in its bladder when stressed.
