You Will Eat Me No More

	You Will Eat Me No More Death Valley National Park The Mojave Desert Tortoise is the largest reptile of the Mojave Desert. They walk on ground that can get over a 130 degrees. They avoid the heat in their giant burroughs where it is about 40 degrees cooler and hibernate there durning the winter. They can live for a year without water or maybe even 2 years without water. In certain areas of the Mojave the average number of tortoises per square mile in the 1920's was 100, now in the same areas there are less then a dozen per square mile in the same areas. A host of animals depend on their large burroughs for homes. It's an endangered species because it's population has dwindled in recent years.

Beautiful yet unusual capture. You just have to know what it is. Set in a natural and pretty cemetry and all caught and the perfect time of day to achieve wonderful highlighting of the subject.
