KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri State Highway Patrol was helping out a rather large African spurred tortoise on Thursday.
Cpl. Kelly Hoover found the animal on Route J between Raymore and Peculiar.
MSHP Troop A said in a tweet, “It appears to be a lost ‘pet’ & we need your help locating the owner.”
The Belton Animal Clinic & Exotic Care Center was taking care of it in the meantime.
Later on Thursday, one of KCTV5′s photographers went to see the tortoise.
It has been reunited with its family.
