The deserts of the Southwest abound with wildlife, but much of it spends the day looking for a cool place to hang out. We all know there is no place cooler than the TOPAZ truck, and our new mascot is a Great Basin Whiptail who finds his daily comfort in the shade beneath us. He’s a speedy little fellow so of course we call him “Fast Elvis”.

He’s adorable, AND he has a super-cool latin name.

You too stay cool
