The tiny Kleinmann tortoise at only one-month old weighs just 6g and is no larger than a grape.
Originally from Egypt and Libya these tiny reptiles are now on the endangered species list and a common sight in the illegal pet trade. Tiny Tim however was sezied by customs and will now be making a new home for himself at Whipsnade Zoo.Met with the obstacle of a humble grape, most animals would swot it aside or even tuck into its tasty contents. But for tiny Tim the tortoise the fruit proves more of a challenge. That's because the grape and the reptile have something in common, their size.
