Family’s Giant Pet Tortoise On The Run After Escaping Home
A family from Kansas has asked their community to keep an eye out for their 70-pound tortoise that escaped from their home earlier this week.
Madmartigan is a 10-year-old desert sarcodes tortoise that the Bahri family has owned since she was just a hatchling.
Their biggest concern, is the weather.
"We are originally from Phoenix, Arizona, and in the winter times, we do get frost, but typically the tortoise is in a burrow and is actually warm and inside," Harun Bahri told KSN. "While she could probably handle a cold weather snap, too cold is definitely not too good for her health—so it's a little worrisome."
