Tich the Hitch! Tich the tortoise isn t big enough yet to make his own way in
Tich the Hitch! Tich the tortoise isn t big enough yet to make his own way in the world. So he hitches lifts with an old friend. Little Tich is seven months old and weighs in at just a few ounces. His pal, shelling out free rides, is Speedy, 70 years old and tipping the scales at more than 450-lbs. Speedy lives at Southport Zoo in Lancashire, but Tich is just a boarder there. He is one of three baby Seychelle tortoises belonging to children at a local school and he stays at the zoo during school holidays. Tich will grow as big as Speedy one day as long as he keeps to the right vegetarian diet. His main food at the moment is soaked raisins. As the chocolate bar ads say

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see the adorable Tich the tortoise hitching a ride with his old friend Speedy. Despite being only seven months old and weighing just a few ounces, Tich isn't quite ready to venture out into the world on his own yet. That's where Speedy comes in, generously offering free rides to his tiny companion. Speedy, a 70-year-old giant weighing over 450 pounds, resides at Southport Zoo in Lancashire. However, Tich is not a permanent resident there but rather a temporary boarder during school holidays. He belongs to one of three baby Seychelle tortoises cared for by children at a local school. As Tich continues to grow, he will eventually reach the impressive size of his pal Speedy as long as he maintains a proper vegetarian diet. Currently, soaked raisins are among his favorite foods. This delightful snapshot captures both humor and cuteness as it showcases an unlikely friendship between two creatures from different generations and sizes. It serves as a reminder that sometimes even the smallest beings can find comfort and companionship in unexpected places.
