Indiana authorities are trying to get to the bottom of a strange mystery involving two endangered turtles recently taken from the Indianapolis Zoo. According to a local media report, the creatures in question are an Egyptian tortoise and a Northern Spider tortoise that lived in a desert exhibit at the facility. The two types of turtles are considered endangered due to habitat loss, which has made them prized among poachers and exotic animal traders. As such, zoo personnel were understandably concerned when a standard animal count at the zoo earlier this month found that the two tortoises had gone missing.
