The large animal which had escaped from a pet shop is taken to a vet after being hit by a train.

‘A Greater Anglia spokeswoman said: "We are sorry for the disruption caused to customers between Norwich and Cambridge this afternoon.
"This was due to a very large, injured tortoise on the line near Harling Road.
"Network Rail attended and helped the animal. Services were able to run from 13.25."’

I hope the tortoise makes a speedy recovery !

Now I'm wondering if any exhausted hares were found nearby!

The wiring goes out in two conduits and there is nowhere insects could get in, yet whenever we open it up there's always plenty of cobwebs and a couple of spiders! What do they live on?

How on earth does a giant tortoise escape ? Does it dig a tunnel..... or make a run for it ?!!
