A 300-year-old tortoise, weighing 33(ilb, is causing officials of the Oakfield Gardens, Crewe (EngA, to have sleepless nights. The reptile is to be moved to tho zoo from a garden four miles away. It would take a year for tho tortoise to crawl the distance, and the police would not agree to traffic being held up all that time. It is too big and too heavy to bo moved in a private car, and the management of tho zoo lias not a lorry at its disposal.
