Tonca, the Museum of Science & History alligator snapping turtle,
turned 43 on Saturday the 11th. He had cake for all of his friends,
lots of games and even a quick visit from his veterinarian, Dr Rossi. He
was removed from his pond with the help from members of the
Jacksonville's Herpetological Society. Tonca was weighed and had a
check-up by Dr Rossi which he passed
with flying colors and is now back in his home pond.
