8. Can't believe people actually want to eat tortoises. Reminds me of a funny story though. I was babysitting my 5 year old niece one day, and her mom packed her lunch: shell pasta with beef. When I gave her the food she exclaimed, "turtle soup!" I really do not know where she got the idea that turtles could be food.
