Tank the Tortoise escaped from his Pennsylvania enclosure for a third time

Tank the Tortoise, otherwise known as Houdini, has escaped from his Pennsylvania enclosure for a third time.

The Mahoning Valley Animal Hospital in Leighton said in a Facebook post that Tank, a tortoise belonging to veterinarian Mike Nelson, escaped from his outdoor pen outside the clinic. Again.

"I think he caught wind that Dr. Mike was going to bring him in for the season, and he just decided he was going to high-tail it and go on an adventure," vet tech Megan Mcfarland said. Dr. Mike suspects Tank got out through a hole in the fence.

"We walked out to the yard; all of us looked around the perimeter just to make sure [he wasn't] hiding somewhere that Dr. Mike just didn't see, and Dr. Mike noticed there was a hole in the fence that the little sucker plowed through," McFarland said.

She said Tank is known for his escapes. "I call him Houdini. This is probably the third time he's gotten loose. We found him the past two times, obviously relatively close. The last time he was missing for maybe about two weeks," she said.

"The last time he was missing for maybe about two weeks," McFarland said. Hopefully, Tank will be home soon!
