Abstrakt: The Utah Desert Tortoise is a unique and fascinating creature that can grow up to six inches tall and weigh 15 pounds or more. They have the ability to endure extreme temperatures and are known for their burrowing skills. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has an adoption program for these tortoises, as they make great pets and can live up to 80 or even 100 years old. However, they are also known to be escape artists and require a safe and secure environment. The adoption process involves fees, permits, and inspections, and the tortoises are protected under state law. [Extracted from the article]
