The Mojave desert tortoise is an endangered species found in the Mojave Desert, primarily threatened by habitat loss and human activity.

The Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) is a critically endangered species native to the Mojave Desert. These tortoises are facing severe threats due to habitat destruction, climate change, and human activities such as off-roading and urban development. Conservation efforts have been underway to protect these tortoises, which play an important role in their ecosystem. While the California condor is also endangered, it is not primarily found in the Mojave Desert. Snow leopards and Bengal tigers are not native to the Mojave and are found in other parts of the world.
