| This illustration is also available as stock art. | Artist's notes: The Desert Tortoise was completed in 2008. It is based on photos I took while leaving Death Valley. We saw this tortoise attempting to cross a highway. I picked it up and carried it over and watched as it slowly moved into the brush. It was a very cool encounter.
