One of Earth's slowest moving mammals just got a lot faster as Zookeepers in Jerusalem Biblical Zoo strapped wheels onto the bottom of a tortoise.

The ten-year-old African Spurred Tortoise, named Arava, received her new set of wheels after suffering from a rare medical condition that paralyzed her two hind legs.

While veterinarians worked to treat the animal's condition they were unable to restore the use of her hind legs and therefore resorted to a more creative approach. 08/19/08

  • This is the 2d vid in recent weeks about Israelis helping to rehabilitate a turtle, just goes to show their caring, compassionate nature! WELL DONE!

    [BTW, tho, the vid refers to the tortoise as a "mammal"--come on, it is a reptile!]

  • Shouldn't the comments be about the turtle?

see all

  • "One of the earth's slowest moving mammals..."

    Whut?!? XD

  • Wtf is with these pathetic comments..

  • yeah and its the muzzie mentality at work.

  • muzzies are just squatters in Israel and they got the audacity to say that "their" land was stole from them.

    They don't care for each other, they think they go to allah's heaven by killing each other.

  • Well, at least you admit that Israel is the Jewish homeland, now we're getting somewhere! So if all the people who deny that it is will politely leave, then the Jews can go on to live in peace there...Without violent Islamic barbarians constantly attacking them.

    And I'm sure the Jews will be happy to allow plenty of peaceful Gentiles to remain...if only for diversity, lol.

  • Uhhhhhhh...Israel is the Jewish homeland, if you learned to crack open a history book you'd know that.

    [Pssssst...It's even in THE KORAN, heheh]

  • For someone who doesn't waste time on Jews, you sure are wasting a lot of time on Jews.

    Why don't you just go back to your homies on ReichTube and chill?

  • When you build your condos on top of the Indian burial grounds, you run the risk that one day the Indians will come back.

    The Palestinian Arabs never understood this.

    It doesn't matter how many trespassers take over your home, you have the right to throw them ALL out...Or as many or few as you choose.

    The Arabians can always go back to Arabia.
