Mojave Max Emergence Contest
Southern California
Mojave Max Makes 2009 Debut After months of anticipation Mojave Max, the famous desert tortoise who resides at the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA, officially emerged from his burrow at 1:52 p.m. Febrary 24, 2009. The tortoise’s debut is hailed by hundreds of students in California who have been studying Mojave Desert weather, temperatures, and conditions to scientifically estimate when Mojave Max would emerge from his burrow in 2009. They entered their guesses on line at www.mojavemax.com. Entries are being tabulated and the official winner will be announced soon. Eligibility for prizes offered in Southern California included students in grades K-12 enrolled in schools in Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.
