The full Moon is a mating call for one of the ocean's most extraordinary phenomena, when thousands of red snapper gather in what can only be described as a frenzied fish orgy.

For the desert tortoise, an approximately 1-foot-long reptile found in desert valleys across California and the American Southwest, a full lifespan can be up to 80 years. So while the Mojave National Preserve recently marked its 30th birthday, many of the tortoises inhabiting the area were already well into middle age when the National Park Service began managing the land they call home.
