"LONDON: Winky the three-legged tortoise has been given a lift after she was fitted with a suspension system and a pneumatic tyre to help her cope with muddy terrain.
The reptile, aged 54, can now go "off-road" and roam over boggy ground after the 4x4-style system was installed on the underside of her shell.
Winky was fitted with a two inch plastic wheel four years ago to replace her rear right leg which she lost to an unknown predator."
