Tortoise Threat

Went to my aunt's house and found one old box in the middle of living room. Just wonder, my aunt isn't that kind of person who like to keep old box.. Out of curiosity, I look inside da box and found this small tiny living creature, a tortoise..! Argh... Why my aunt suddenly keep tortoise.?? I always have this thought, reptile and slow moving creature is da worst pet ever, they can't interact with you like dogs and cats do. Even you give them a name, they can't even react when you call their name. So whats da point? Is like planting flowers in your house.

Anyway, I change my mind after I played with it the whole morning. Surprisingy, I thought it was a slow moving creature, but I was wrong. For the size of it, which is 1/3 size smaller than my hand, it crawl stubbornly fast.. but in just one direction.. I dunno why..

Since they have the radiating pattern that look like star on their carapaces, so it is called the Star Tortoise, originally from India, in South Eastern Pakhistan and in Sri Lanka. But sadly, they are now endangered species cause by the destruction of habitat. Anyway, this creature is a landlubber, do not expect this fella to swim in your pond!
