Save Red Rock
3 days ago
We’ve been seeing many tortoises out at Red Rock this month. If you spot one in the road, you can pull over and help it cross. Grab it gently along it’s shell near the midpoint of its body. Never flip it upside down! Remember: you may never touch a desert tortoise outside of an emergency situation! ... See MoreSee Less

It’s really important that you approach the tortoise not from the side neither the front but slightly off center, to make sure it sees you coming, so it is not startled when you lift it from the ground. Make sure the tortoise knows of your presence before touching it! Too, & VERY IMPORTANT: you move it further, in safety across the road, in the EXACT SAME direction it was going (because of how their sense of orientation works). & again, as already mentioned above, we never touch a tortoise unless its life is in danger (if it’s right in the road). Maybe have someone currently volunteering at the Tortoise habitat or other official tortoise group in town review just to make sure nothing is missing? I’m sharing what I remember from having been a volunteer at the habitat in Red Rock years ago & from my experience of saving one once who was in the middle of the road. ... I was thankful I knew what to do!
Wrong. Leave it alone. The only right way is leave it alone.
Speeding through the the loop kills them !!!
