- After a six-day absence, the turtle makes its way back to its original residence.
Following a six-day journey, tortoise named Plitsch, hailing from Mainz-Weisenau, was back in its rightful home. The incident caught the attention of authorities on a Monday afternoon, as mentioned in a statement. "Detailed and extensive inquiries with long-time residents of Weisenau ultimately pointed towards an address where a tortoise resided," the police disclosed. The contented owner and the adventurous escapee, together with its sibling Platsch, were at long last reunified. The animals in question are European pond terrapins.
After the heartwarming reunion, the owner decided to treat Plitsch and Platsch to an excursion around their beloved pond. Despite the initial escape, authorities assured that they would maintain a watchful eye to prevent any future incidents near the terrapin habitat.
