And they weren’t your usual victims. The police in Devon and Cornwall are investigating how seven giant tortoises ended up dead this month in Ashclyst Forest, northeast of Exeter, England. Two tortoises were found on Jan. 8, and five more on Jan. 12, the police said. The police have asked members of the public to come forward with information if they have it. It’s unclear who found the tortoises, but the police said “a member of the public” reported the dead animals.
