The Mojave Desert Tortoise was listed as endangered in California last year, as there is a very real threat that the reptile will become extinct in our state within our lifetime. Although there are an estimated 100,000 of them roaming the desert, catching a glimpse of one can be quite rare. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tell us how you can spot one this Saturday (May 15), guaranteed…
Disguised as moving rocks, the Mojave Desert Tortoise can effectively hide in plain sight. But that won’t be the case this Saturday and every Saturday in May at the Joshua Tree Farmers’ Market. That’s because the Joshua Basin Water District will be host to some of these fascinating creatures at their both. Dubbed ambassadors of water conservation, people can learn a lot from the Mojave Desert Tortoise by visiting the booth.
