The Tortoise and the Goose
At Busch Gardens, a 45-year-old female Aldabra tortoise was chosen by an unlikely suitor: a male Pacific Brant goose. The unusual pair has been together for 4 years. Brant geese mate for life, and it seems that this friendship is in for the long haul. "Animal Odd Couples" premieres Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 8/7 c (check local listings).
