Desert Tortoise
Our desert tortoise, Dandelion, was taken from the wild in 1962 to be a pet and has been at Lindsay since 1997. Captive tortoises cannot be released back into the wild because they may carry disease that could harm the wild population.
Now 55 years old, Dandelion could live to see 100! Help make her years at Lindsay even better by adopting Dandelion today!
