an endangered species also known as an Egyptian tortoise, is seen at
Rome's Biopark zoo May 22, 2007. The offspring is the hatchling of several
Egyptian tortoises that were rescued from a smuggler's suitcase in 2005 at
Naples airport, southern Italy, by Italy's forestry police and is
entrusted to Rome's main zoo. [Reuters]  | |
