Dubbed as the ‘World’s Most Patient Pet Owner,’ this elderly man casually walks his giant tortoise pet through the streets of Japan, like it's just walking his dog.
Yururi, an enormous African spurred tortoise and its owner are usually seen in the Tsukishima district of Tokyo, but have also been photographed a couple of miles away in Ginza.
Judging by the tortoise’s size, the unusual pair has probably been together for a very long time, and the tortoise always plods devotedly by its owner’s side.
What’s even more unusual is that the Japanese owner sometimes dresses his tortoise friend with silly costumes.
Anyone thinking of taking up a giant tortoise as a pet may want to make sure that they have someone in line to look after the creature in future years.
For the reason that the average life span of this animal is 100 years, with some on the Galapagos Islands living to the ripe old age of 200.
Perhaps, there is something to taking life slowly after all.
SHARE. INFORM. AMAZE.
