Tortoise, 85, returns home after five-day search
Tim the tortoise was thought to be male for the first 25 years of her life, before a vet confirmed otherwise
An 85-year-old tortoise that went missing in Guernsey has been found after five days, her owner has said.Her owner, Maggie Talbot-Cull, said it was possible a gate may have been left open and Tim wandered out, prompting a "needle in a haystack" search.Ms Talbot-Cull said it is not clear who returned the reptile because no-one was home at the time she was returned.
She said she would be donating £100 to the GSPCA as a thank you to all those who helped search for her."It's like a needle in a haystack," she said before she was found. "The worry is that she has fallen off a cliff and is on her back. She's very-well camouflaged and quite heavy, I can only just lift her.Ms Talbot-Cull said she was gifted the tortoise by her godmother after World War Two.
She said Tim was believed to have been a male for the first 25 years of her life but a vet later confirmed she was female.
