It’s fall, and for fans of a certain desert tortoise, that can only mean one thing: Mojave Max is heading to his burrow to hibernate.
Starting Tuesday, K-5 students in Clark County can guess when Max will re-emerge in the spring for a chance to win prizes. The student who guesses closest to the correct day, hour and minute — without going over — will receive a pizza party for their class, a laptop and a field trip to Springs Preserve to meet Mojave Max.
Teachers in public, private and registered home schools can enter their students’ guesses at mojavemax.com.
