Tortoises may be slow and unexciting creatures, but they can also adopt cute quirks like any other pet. This guy’s tortoise made a habit of stepping on its owner’s foot whenever it wanted a fresh piece of lettuce. That’s a lot better than snapping at his toes, which we imagine would be super-painful.
If you’re thinking of adopting your very own tortoise, just know that you’re in it for a long time. Tiny tortoises can live 25 years and beyond, meaning that your child will also have to be invested in raising Leonardo until adulthood. But from what we’ve heard, tortoises are low-maintenance and entertaining at times.
