NOte that the Tortoise people are different from other animal groups. They have money. The federal tortoise programs kicked off a lot of cash. Animal people can be difficult when they need your financial support. They are really fun when financially independent.
Nope, never a good thing when the mascot dies.

I was relieved to read he was 65 and died of natural causes.

A little gritty. After all he WAS a desert tortoise.

They can live to be 100. This guy was so big the lady that took him to his new home thought he was probably old. Maybe they can count the rings in his tail?

I thought "Desert Tortoise" was going to be a casino/retirement home.
