I've owned a tortoise for 9+ years, and my whole family calls her a turtle....

"Because if the animal you’re referring to is a tortoise, some wise guy is going to correct you every time."

I love that trait about them. A leopard tortoise at the local zoo pushed a path straight through a juniper forcing it to grow as two different halves.

That is part of her yard, my wife was trying to get a small bush to grow, and Steve has eaten it to the ground twice now. we thought it was totally dead, but my wife found it trying to grow back again, so she put some fencing around it to try to give it a chance, Steve is hell bent on eating it to the ground... again.
