Tortoise With a Wheel

If this tortoise raced a hare, I think he would have an unfair advantage. What's next, a speed turbo? Poor little guy.




"Gamera, a 12-year-old, African spur-thighed tortoise, shows off his new front "leg" at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., on Friday, July 15, 2011. Gamera had to have his leg removed after an infection set in. To aid in the tortoise's recovery, doctors at WSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital replaced Gamera's leg with a small swiveling ball-type caster attached to its shell with an epoxy adhesive."

    I feel bad for the turtle, but am wondering if it ever rolls off in the wrong direction? LOL

    I feel bad for the tortoise, but I can help but wonder what a cyborg gamera style turtle would be like...
