Desert tortoise "stays home for Nevada"
One of the most reclusive residents of the Clark County Wetlands Park, the desert tortoise is a natural when it comes to social distancing - spending about 95 percent of its life in isolation.
Often found underground, the desert tortoise is native to the Mojave Desert and has a lifespan of 50 to 80 years.
