A Kennesaw couple woke Sunday morning to find a stranger in their yard — an African tortoise.
They called police, who posted a picture on Facebook.
The animal looks healthy and police said they think it’s likely a pet. Within hours, the owners called police and claimed their pet, police said.
People with tortoise pets aren’t as rare as one might think.
A 45-pound tortoise was lost and later returned to an Alpharetta family's home.
