A woman in California is going viral after her pet tortoise named Tiptoe just celebrated his 22nd birthday. When she was 7, she asked Santa for an African tortoise, and he delivered. They can live up to 100 years.
In other tortoise news: The oldest living land animal in the world celebrates a birthday today. Jonathan the tortoise lives on an island in the South Atlantic and turns 191 today. His species has an average lifespan of 150 years. (He looks pretty good for his age . . . I guess.)
