With their elephantine (“columnar”) legs and domed shells, the desert tortoise is difficult to mistake for anything else that lives in the regions it natively inhabits. Join us to learn more about this fascinating species where we will cover the natural history of turtles and tortoises, their unique anatomy, life habits, behaviors, and how they make a living in one of the driest regions on Earth. These elusive and captivating distinctive desert dwellers are well worth an in-depth look with AZGFD wildlife biologists Jeff Meyers and Cheyenne Dubiach of the Wildlife Viewing Program.
