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.

We might think of tortoises as slow creatures, but one family found out the hard way that they can still manage to run away.
One Kansas family is asking their neighbors to keep an eye out for a giant tan, brown hump after their 10-year-old pet tortoise, Madmartigan, escaped their Wichita backyard sometime between Monday morning and Monday afternoon.
While they believe that Madmartigan is still in the area, they are worried about her safety, particularly because temperatures have fallen in recent days, Harun Bahri told KSN News.
