What desert does the desert tortoise live in?

Desert tortoises make popping, hissing and poinkingsounds when in distress or fear. These tortoises live in burrows to escape the cold and heat. Desert tortoises catch the infrequent rains that fall in basins. Most of their water intake comes from moisture found in wildflowers and grass that they eat during the spring. The desert tortoise has the ability to store about a quart of water in its bladder to be used when necessary.
