Tortoise escapes circus...slowly
20th July 2009
The 152kg male tortoise named Berta didn't make it very far.
He had travelled just 3.2km when he was spotted on a golf course less than a week after his July 7 escape during a show in Madison, Wisconsin.
Alain Zerbini, owner and producer of Florida-based Zerbini Family Circus, says he expects to have Berta back in a few days. A friend of Zerbini picked up Berta from the Humane Society in Madison on Friday.
Zerbini says the tortoise has been "part of the family" for 10 years.
