After a run-in with an angry rat, a 90-year-old British tortoise named Mrs. T was left without the use of her front legs. But thanks to a prosthetic upgrade from a remote control airplane, this reptile is riding in style.

The owner, Jude Ryder, reports that the new wheels have improved Mrs. T's speed in getting around. The wheel idea came from Ryder's son, Dale, who is an engineer. Thanks to Dale her life is now prolonged, and she has a great way to stay mobile and look amazing while doing it.

You go, Mrs. T!
