He (the tortoise) takes up a little space. But he’s a character, you know?” he laughs. “He loves to hang with you. They don’t do much, but they love to come over if you’re sitting in the yard and sit next to you. He’s got a little social side of him.
Clint Eastwood clearly one ups Leonardo DiCaprio as most famous tort owner. Its good to hear his tort has a suitable home and a quality personality. Never let anyone tell you these animals are boring.
Leo DiCaprio Shells Out Cash for Exotic New Pet | TMZ.com
Oh TMZ, you really need to get your facts straight. A Sulcata is a tortoise not a turtle. The terms are not really interchangeable.
I suppose I’ve gotta respect his pet choice. If I had a big house and 400 dollars to spend I’d probably get myself one of those cuties too. As for size, a 38 pound Sulcata is not all that big, its likely gonna grow even bigger in a few years. Sulcatas are the 3rd largest species of tortoise in the world (third after Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises). Here’s hoping DiCaprio read some fact sheets like this one http://www.sulcata-station.org/basics.html before purchasing. And he best hire someone to give that tort a soak every few days when he’s away filming movies I won’t pay ten dollars to see.
Oh, and I’m a little jealous of the tort enclosure he’ll be able to build for his new friend. If I were him I’d go for a quality replica of the Hollywood hills for that sulcata to roam around.
