Notes
We found this poor tortoise dead in this plastic bucket. We couldn't tell whether the tortoise had crawled into the bucket when it was on its side and stood it up, getting trapped, or if someone had put it in there. It obviously died of exposure to the elements or dehydration/starvation. It was probably not a good death. :-(
