Myrtle is an ambitious turtle. Her proud owner Tim has had her since he was a kid, making her “at least 47 years old”. With a love of strawberries and a tendency to pick up hairs shed by the family dog, she lives life to the full every day. On one occasion, she successfully performed a trick she had learnt entirely on her own initiative. Wriggling her scaly limbs as though underwater, she flipped 180 degrees! Credit: YouTube/Tim Saylors
