Last week, Stumpy, a three-legged tortoise, was reported missing in the Denver area. While some speculate that he along with fifteen other reptiles were stolen, others have subscribed to the much more plausible notion that Stumpy escaped from his restricting cage of domesticity and is living it up in the big city.

Following an Amber Alert notifying the public of Stumpy's absence, the organization also released this approximation of the tortoise's appearance after a few days on the lam. Keep an eye out for any unaccompanied reptiles, particularly those with mustaches and/or glasses.

Note: Stumpy has been found. Though we were hoping it grew back, he still only has three legs.
