Still Waters Posted June 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Three giant tortoises are being put through their paces by trainers at Twycross Zoo. Normally, Speedy, aged 70, Tim, 40 and Shelly, 30, plod along at less than one mile per hour. However, the zoo has built an extended outdoor pen for the animals and keepers were concerned the lumbering leviathans would take too long to be put to bed at the end of the day. http://www.thisislei...l#axzz2WritSgDk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HerNibs Posted June 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Seriously? I mean "Yay" turtles can be taught but I don't understand the why. The article states However, the zoo has built an extended outdoor pen for the animals and keepers were concerned the lumbering leviathans would take too long to be put to bed at the end of the day. Did it dawn on anyone to start heading them to bed a bit earlier?? I'm confused. Nibs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
