Guess when Mojave Max will emerge
Students in Clark County can begin entering their guesses for the 2009 Mojave Max Emergence Contest online at www.mojavemax.com.
Like Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog, Mojave Max's emergence is a good indicator of spring-like weather in Southern Nevada. Students are encouraged to study the behavior of desert tortoises before guessing when they think Mojave Max will first exit his burrow.
Once Mojave Max emerges, an official emergence time will be recorded and the Clark County student that guessed closest to the actual time will win.
The winner will receive medals, T-shirts, family park passes and a pizza party for their entire class. Their teacher will also receive a personal laptop computer.
