Video: 90-year-old Tortoise Gets Wheels for Legs Following Rat Attack

The tortoise in the video below, named—no joke—Mrs T, apparently suffered a brutal rat attack while she was hibernating. She lost nearly all of her two front legs, but luckily she’s got good friends in human places.

Her owners glued wheels from a model aircraft onto her shell, allowing her to stay mobile—and maybe even move a little bit faster than she could “pre-augmentation.”

Watch her in action in the video from The Telegraph below.
