A Tortoise Called Joe
The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer?" ~Jeremy Bentham
The turtle has the lowest pulse rate of any animal: 13 beats per minute.
There was a tortoise called Joe
Whose progress was painfully slow.
He'd stop for a week,
Look around, take a peek,
Then unlike a shot, off he’d go.
Michael Palin
