Video: Clever Pancake Tortoise
Tortoises typically have domed shells, but Pancake Tortoises are flat like their namesakes. If a tortoise is flipped on its back, it can use the curvature of its shell to rock back and forth and right itself. Pancake Tortoises (such as the wall-climbing fellow in this video) need to think things through a bit more.

Video: You Are A Dinosaur!

Video: Lonely Tortoise Finds Love With Plastic Toy
Timmy the tortoise is a 60 year old resident of the Tortoise Garden, which cares for unwanted and abandoned tortoises. Timmy was feeling a bit lonely after some of the other tortoises started to bully him, but perked up after the sanctuary owners gave him a plastic tortoise named Tanya.
