I would love to be involved in something like that.
Where did these torts come from? Are they captive born? Former pets? I would love to know more....

 

[TortieLuver]

Wow that's really neat. Hard to believe how few are really left.

 

[Peacebone]

That is so awesome. I too would love to be involved with something like this. It would be a great experience.

 

[Laura]

very cool.. but where did these animals come from > ?I assume they are checked and healthy, but they always say tou cant release them once being captive due to the URI.. so are they going to prove that is not true? or??

Great video thank's for posting it

 

[Jacqui]

Silly me, I was trying to figure why a South Dakota zoo would be doing this. Then it dawned on me, San Diego. Nice story.

I will have to check out their website to see if there is anymore info I can link you guys to, the youtube account didn't have any thing more than what they say in the video.

Glad everyone enjoyed!
