Finally crawling out of bed

On Monday, April 14, Mojave Max finally crawled out from his Red Rock Canyon burrow after a long winter's sleep. The Bureau of Land Management said that this hibernation was longer than usual for the desert tortoise. Max probably didn't want to leave his comfy burrow until he was sure that winter was over......Monday's temperature of 90+ probably convinced him that spring was finally here.
