Pet tortoise found in 11,000 volt electricity substation reunited with its owner - seven months after escaping from the family home
A schoolboy whose tortoise vanished seven months ago has been reunited with her - after she had a long 'power nap' inside an 11,000-volt electricity substation.
Parents Jodie and Ryan helped in a frantic search for Mary -who would usually only hibernate for two to three months - and when they were unable to find her they gave up hope and assumed she had gone forever.“It’s fair to say nobody in the family thought we’d ever see Mary again, given the weather and the time missing, we just thought there’s no chance," Jodie said. "Mary is used to being outside.
However last week, a maintenance worker at Electricity North West, Ben Baxendale, found a tortoise whilst clearing litter from the grounds of an 11,000 volt electricity substation that powers the local area in Norley. “It was certainly a strange one and something I’ve never dealt with before, I put the tortoise in a bucket and thought I’d knock on a few doors but knew if it wasn’t anybody’s we’d have to find it a home for the weekend."
