"Cristina Park, 69, said one of her earliest memories from her childhood was going to the San Diego Zoo when she was three or four years old and riding on the back of a tortoise. That’s no longer allowed, but the experience inspired her to keep a small desert tortoise as a pet and learn more about tortoise conservation."

Old days were wild. People just did anything and everything.

Still crazy to think that almost everyone living today could have visited this turtle 80 years ago and could have went back last year and still see the same turtle.
