Desert tortoises are usually solitary, but sometimes they share burrows. When males come across each other, they might fight for dominance by trying to flip one another over. Males are larger than females and can be identified by curved horns on the lower shell, beneath the neck. Once they reach adulthood, desert tortoises can live between 30-50 years in the wild, and sometimes up to 80 years. Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction desert tortoises are struggling for survival
The desert is home to a wide variety of impressive and varying creatures. From mammals to insects, reptiles and birds, and everything in between, the natural ecosystem preserved in desert environments is fascinating.Desert animals are able to strike a delicate balance between the hunter and hunted, carnivores and herbivores, without entirely throwing off the balance of other creatures within the desert.Many desert-dwelling creatures are versatile and easily adaptable. Found in many climates, the harsh conditions of the desert seemingly do not phase them. Likewise, many birds (check out our bird games) mentioned below choose to migrate to the desert during the winter or have otherwise found unique ways to live in sparse water habitats within the desert.
