Leonardo the tortoise, missing for nine months from his Cumbria home, was found about a mile away. His owners had feared the worst, but a social media campaign led a dog walker to discover him. After being returned to the Little Beasties pet shop, staff successfully traced his owner, Rachel Etches. She expressed her relief, reflecting on how distracted she had been when Leonardo wandered off. Etches suspects he went into hibernation and emerged as the weather warmed, highlighting his adventurous nature.
When asked how her tortoise managed to survive the winter, Etches believes Leonardo must have entered hibernation, only to emerge when the weather improved.
After a nine-month search and social media campaigns, the missing tortoise, Leonardo, was discovered just a mile from home, demonstrating resilience and adventure.
