Instead of back legs, this turtle has wheels

It's true! Now, we could get into the technical points of how veterinarians in Tel Aviv attached these adorable little wheels to Tzvika the turtle after an accident with a lawn mower gave her trouble with her back legs, but instead let's just look at some more pictures of my new favorite turtle friend:

Tel Aviv - the world's #1 source for shockingly violent human conflict and shockingly adorable turtle compassion.

Really? A turtle with wheels on his ass? This guy is now the Dale Earnhardt of turtles.

That is a tortoise, not a turtle. Also, I seem to remember a picture floating around of a tortoise who lost his back legs to a racoon having furniture slider discs attached to his bottom shell and doing fine.
