Slowrise Desert Tortoise Emerges from Brumation Sunset Park Nevada

Welcome to the WeekendFrontier! Spring is here! Enjoy the slow rise of the desert tortoise just emerged from its winter brumation. Every fall when the hot Las Vegas weather cools off, the desert tortoise goes into its burrow to begin brumation. Brumation is how reptiles hibernate. In the spring, when the weather begins to warm up, the tortoise emerges. What could the desert tortoise be thinking about after sleeping the winter away? What’s changed? How’d that toilet paper get there? The desert tortoise is listed as "threatened" under the United States federal Endangered Species Act. Don’t litter. Leave no trace.
