Tortoises Take Trek for Grassy Treat

Although these good looking African Spurred Tortoises usually call the Sahara desert home, Lorenzo Ruiz of Moraga brought 14-year-old Leo and 8-year-old Donny to the Moraga Commons so they could stretch their legs and nibble some grass. Along with girlfriend Courtney Daum, the two posed with the pets. Ruiz mentioned his parents like these tortoises - a good thing since they'll be taking care of the pair when the Campolindo junior presumably heads off to college next year. The species can live up to about 50 years in captivity. The shelled boys were tooling around at a surprisingly quick pace; Ruiz and Daum had to constantly wrangle them back to the grass. C. Tyson
