Mojave Maxine, the desert tortoise at The Living Desert, finally retired for the winter to her underground burrow. She will stay there in a state of brumation (reptilian hibernation) for the winter emerging as the warm days of desert spring and the promise of fresh flowers tempt her back to the surface. 

Your mission, if you're a student in southern California, is to guess the date and time that she emerges.

• Mojave Maxine Website
• Emergence Contest Information
• Desert Tortoise Information
• Mojave Desert Tortoise App

Mojave Maxine has emerged from her burrow! She emerged on February 25th at 11:33 A.M.

The Living Desert Museum in Palm Springs has created a unique contest. Each student can enter a guess when Mojave Maxine, a desert tortoise, will emerge from hibernation.
