We are visiting with Officer Shawn Boorman, the tort king, to check out his setups & habitats and take a look at his absolutely beautiful brown mountain tortoises, cherryhead tortoise, Indian star tortoise and much more! His story is an inspiring one and he also happens to have the most hilarious and amazing gator stories you will ever hear!

I really appreciate how respectful Kenan is about entering enclosures and handling the animals when he visits other animal keepers. It's a great lesson for viewers to not assume it's okay to just jump in and pick up someone else's animals.

Pine needles contain large amounts of vitamin C, and steeping them in hot water releases the nutrient. The tea provides the complete vitamin C complex, not simply isolated ascorbic acid as you would get in a vitamin C tablet.

I had to make the same decision for the Drs to take my leg as well shortly after I turned 18 so pretty much the same age but I had been dealing with an infection for years before they approached me to make the decision to take my leg and they waited until the infection got into the bone before they said that there was nothing else they could do besides taking the leg from below the knee just like yours and that Alligator story is amazing and I have to say I've done some crazy things like that with my fake leg but nothing as crazy as that
