Good evening everyone.

I'm just wondering whether anyone in the UK has noticed an article on Google about a giant tortoise being rescued by network rail. I hope he's okay as he was clipped by a train.

Yes I read it ......

A giant tortoise that was found injured on a railway track should make a full recovery, Network Rail said.

Clyde, a West African giant tortoise, had gone missing on Sunday morning and was spotted on the tracks near Thetford, Norfolk, on Monday.

Weighing 60kg (9st 6lb) and measuring 76cm (2.5ft), he was lifted off the track to safety by four rail workers.

Pictures show him happily walking up the rail tracks 🐢😄 but he did get hit by a train and is OK. He escaped a pet shop but is now back.
