A veterenarian shows an Indian Star Tort

A veterenarian shows an Indian Star Tortoise at the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau office, inside the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in Quezon City, east of Manila on March 1, 2011. The tortoise was rescued from a house on fire in Quezon City. Firefighters putting out a blaze in a house in Manila were shocked to find the property occupied by five tigers and other exotic animals including snakes, wildlife authorities said. The tigers, two Burmese pythons, three Indian tortoises and different breeds of cats and dogs were all rescued unharmed, according to the national environment department's wildlife rescue centre.
