- **Event Name**: Texas Tortoise Ecology in the Rio Grande Valley - Thursday Night Live
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Texas tortoise is the only native tortoise species in the state, uniquely adapted to the Tamaulipan thornscrub. Listed as state-threatened, the species faces ongoing challenges from habitat loss, fragmentation, and declining population trends. Despite these pressures, surprisingly little research has been conducted to guide conservation efforts.

Join Wildlife Scientist Camryn Kiel as she shares findings from her recent graduate research conducted from 2022 to 2024, during which she equipped Texas tortoises with tracking devices and temperature loggers to better understand their movement patterns, habitat selection, and thermal ecology.
