The Desert Tortoise was completed in 2008. It is based on photos I took while leaving Death Valley. We saw this tortoise attempting to cross a highway. I picked it up and carried it over (which I regretted, as I was told you shouldn't even handle them!) and watched as it slowly moved into the desert brush. It was a very cool encounter.
