***About Desert Tortoise:

*** The Desert Tortoise, a native species to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, has become a symbol of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. These reptiles are distinguished by their sturdy domed shells and rugged, scaly limbs adapted for digging. Capable of living up to 80 years, they spend the majority of their lives in burrows to escape the harsh desert climate. Conservation efforts are paramount as their populations have declined due to habitat loss, respiratory diseases, and predation impacts. This artwork not only highlights the tortoise's unique beauty but also serves as a reminder of the fragility of desert ecosystems.
