REFUGIO COUNTY, Texas — A family in Refugio County has been looking for their beloved family pet for two days now. It's a pet not everyone may have.
Tank is a 200 pound tortoise. His owner Benny Flores said he's been part of the family for the last 12 years. Flores said it was yesterday afternoon when he got a call from his wife who said the turtle was gone.
“He's an African Spurred Tortoise and it doesn’t belong in water, so we're hoping if somebody did accidentally get him, I hope that they don't put him in a pond or nothing like that because they don't really swim that good," Flores said.
Flores said Tank is 30-years-old. If you or someone you know sees Tank, call (361) 646-3539 to help bring him home.
