A 12-year-old African tortoise that recently had its front left leg amputated due to injury is now moving just fine, thanks to a swiveling wheel attached to his shell by doctors at Washington State University's veterinary hospital, AP reports.

The tortoise is particularly good at moving toward food, and has gained 3 pounds since the wheel was attached.

The wheel allows the tortoise to move well on both flat and lumpy surfaces like lawns, and should last for years before it has to be replaced. （點(diǎn)擊雅虎新聞網(wǎng)站查看原文）
