- PHOTO OF THE DAY
Pampered Tortoise
A 10-year-old radiated tortoise named Mister escapes the heat in Pacifica, California, in this image from our photography archives. The photo was featured in a December 2024 story about exotic pets that outlive their owners. Radiated tortoises are originally from Madagascar and have been placed on critically endangered list. They can live for over 150 years. Reptile rescuer Kay Ross, 68, hasn't yet figured out who will care for Mister after she dies.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
