Tortoises are really unusual creatures. One of the wildest facts about them is that they can live up to 150 years.
They have hard shells to protect them from predators. Some are 5 feet long and can weigh more than 500lbs.
They lay their eggs in the ground and it can take the babies a month to scrape their way to the surface.
Wild Challenge! Can you make yourself a shell out of a box?
