Meet Wilson! He's a professional burrower, desert plant enthusiast, and a firm believer in taking life at his own pace.

Like all desert tortoises, Wilson is built for life in the Sonoran Desert. He spends the hottest parts of the day in a sheltered burrow and can go long periods of time without drinking by storing water in his body.

Keep an eye out for him and the other desert tortoises the next time you visit.
