Description:
During a hike in Joshua Tree National Park, he stumbled upon the shell of a desert tortoise.<br/><br/>To his surprise, the bottom part of the shell, known as the plastron, was still attached, and inside there was a puzzle-like object that appeared to be a tumor.<br/><br/>Later, it was revealed that it was actually a bladder stone.<br/><br/>This stone forms when a tortoise becomes dehydrated.<br/><br/>Normally, a well-hydrated tortoise secretes urine during urination.<br/><br/>However, in a dehydrated tortoise that's conserving water by recycling its urine, these urates can accumulate over time and slowly form into a bladder stone.<br/>Location: Joshua Tree National Park, United States <br/>WooGlobe Ref : WGA025379<br/>For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
