Runaway tortoise reunited with family
RSPCA officers who looked after Freddie determined she was female and in her 70s – much to her owners’ surprise.
An elderly tortoise has been reunited with her family after a post on Facebook.
The spur-thighed tortoise, thought to be about 75, scarpered when her owners were on holiday and was found wandering the streets in Staines, Surrey, by a member of the public.
