One
plucky tortoise’s incredible survival story.
Kiwi
soldiers brought a number of souvenirs home from World War One, but Torty was
perhaps the most unique. Already estimated to be 100 years old at the time she
was found, injured, in Greece, the little tortoise was rescued and looked after
by Stewart Little, who brought her home to New Zealand. 100 years further on,
Torty remarkably survives. This is her story.
