Conan – A goat riding a African sulcata tortoise.
*sigh* did no one even brief Conan on the turtpocalypse? The tortoise taxi? Obviously the answer is no. Our tortoise friend was in the corner trying to file a request for added payment. He didn’t realize he would be on TV. The Tortoise taxi gig is one thing, but he’s got a SAG card damnit!
Helen the Aldabra Tortoise is feeling better after a bout of the sniffles.

Helen, Bristol Zoo’s 90kg (14 stone) giant tortoise, was checked into an on-site clinic after keepers noticed her unusual breathing.
One nasal flush, some diagnostic tests under anaesthetic and a course of antibiotics later, and Helen’s nasal infection is doing a lot better.
She could live to be 150 years old, according to keepers.
