TOKYO: The escapee is female, weighs 55 kilogrammes (121 pounds) and has a "gentle" disposition - but a history of running away. "She's quiet and gentle," Yamane said, adding that the zoo has received no reports of sightings of the approximately 35-year-old tortoise.Tuesday's escape was the second time in less than a fortnight that the fleet-footed reptile, which is allowed to walk freely inside the park during opening hours, fled the zoo.Yamane said it was found walking down the road 150 metres away from the zoo on July 21. "I spotted her on the way to the zoo. I stopped my car and asked my colleagues to help," she said. "She can walk faster than we can ever imagine."
