Desert tortoise takes a Rattlesnake for a wild ride!

"Desert tortoises share burrows with various mammals, reptiles, birds, and invertebrates, such as white-tailed antelope squirrels, woodrats, collared peccaries, burrowing owls, Gambel's quail, rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, beetles, spiders, and scorpions. One burrow can host up to 23 desert tortoises – such sharing is more common for desert tortoises of opposite sexes than for desert tortoises of the same sex."
