DOUG SHOOP: Tortoise dude

http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2012/05/11/152350238/120-giants-found-living-with-86-year-old-man

I don't know what kind of nerve, ferocity and stubbornness got 86-year-old
Brendon Grimshaw to buy an island in the Indian Ocean, replant it with
16,000 trees, grasses and then lure a bunch of giant tortoises - big
galumphing ones and itty-bitty ones - to live with him (one gets born in his
bedroom). But he did it, and when he takes reporter Simon Reeve on a tour,
he seems so shy and gentle. But I bet he's not. My guess is Brendon is next
to impossible to live with, unless you're too big, too slow and too
reptilian to care. Take a look.
