FILE - In this May 16, 2006, file photo, a Mojave Desert tortoise walks near a deserted section of old U.S. 93, east of the Coyote Springs, Nev., development site, about 55 miles north of Las Vegas. In 1990, federal officials listed the Mojave Desert species as threatened across its range, touching off a series of new regulations and initiatives aimed at saving the long-lived reptile.  One of the people caught up in the effort to save the tortoise was a Bunkerville rancher named Cliven Bundy, who didn’t take kindly to being told to limit the number of cows he was grazing on public land in northeastern Clark County.
