Biologists at the 412th Civil Engineer Group, Envi- 4 Disneyland
ronmental Management Division, are seeking more base Tickets
residents or families willing to foster a desert tortoise.
(Family of 4).
PCS season is fast approaching and Environmental
Management is looking to develop a list of potential
foster parents before the rush.
Captive desert tortoises have to remain in captivity
throughout their lives.
Since they can live 75 years, some individual animals
have lived in Edwards housing since the 1970s.
Desert tortoises are vegetarians and generally very low
maintenance. Having a dog or cat does not prevent you
from adopting a desert tortoise.
Adoption is free. New foster parents will receive lit-
erature and guidance on building an outside burrow from
Environmental Management.
For more information, call biologist Mark Bratton at
661-277-1417.
