Does anybody recognise this gentle giant?
After the RSPCA was called out to the unusual discovery of a “huge” stray tortoise in a Staffordshire field, the reptile is said to be in good health.
After being checked over on Tuesday, the animal was found to be fine, despite initial concern that his back feet were bleeding.RSPCA inspector Heather Morris, who collected the tortoise and took him to a vet, said: “He is quite a size, so I can understand why he was spotted – he is just beautiful. I normally pick up little tortoises but he is huge! When I went to collect him I took a large bird box with me, but I soon realised he wasn’t going to fit! He was over nine kilogrammes.
“Unfortunately he isn’t microchipped so we don’t know where he has come from, so if anyone has any information about his owner we would urge them to get in touch with us. The RSPCA said tortoise owners often let their pets out in the garden during sunny weather, and they can become very active in the warm temperatures and sunshine.
