>> AND GET READY TO CELEBRATE ALL THE GREAT ATHLETE WHO TRAIN THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES TO BE WINNERS. AND WHILE IT MIGHT TAKE THEM A WHILE TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE, WE'RE GETTING READY TO FIND OUT THE WINNER OF THE GREAT RED FOOTED TORTOISE, RIGHT? WAS FAST AS I DO. THEY DO. SO OUR TEAM, A CAREER. >> WE'RE ABOUT OFF TO THE RACES RIGHT HERE. GET CHRISTIAN DAMION LEE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. GETTING US GUYS. GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> HI, GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS, TOO. SO YES, WE'RE HERE IN OUR INSPIRATION. A HALLWAY AND THE RACE HAS BEGUN. NOW WE WANT TO START AT FIRST THING BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE THEM TO FINISH. BUT WE HAVE 3 OF OUR RED FOOTED. TORTOISE IS HERE. THESE ARE ALL SISTERS AND WE HAVE CHLOE, WHICH IS THE SMALLEST ONE IN LANE. ONE OVER THERE. WE HAVE ROSIE HAS KIND OF A MEDIUM-SIZED ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN WE HAVE THE BIG E ON THE END. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHO CAN FINISH THE RACE AND GET THAT BIG PRIZE AT THE END. A LOT OF BANANAS AND BERRIES. AND SO WHILE THE RACING, WE FIGURED WE WOULD TALK ABOUT THESE AWESOME ANIMALS. SO THEY ARE NAMED RED FOOTED. TORTOISE IS FOR GOOD REASON. THAT'S BECAUSE AS YOU CAN CAN GUESS THEY HAVE READ ON THEIR FEET. SO RED FOOTED TORTOISE IS THEY COME FROM KIND OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA. VERY TROPICAL CLIMATES. SO THEY FIT IN VERY WELL HERE IN FLORIDA. NOW WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS RACE OUTSIDE. HOWEVER, WE HAD TO BRING INSIDE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY COLD RIGHT NOW. AND SO THESE ARE REPTILES ARE COLD BLOODED. IF WE HAVE THEM RACE OUTSIDE, IT'S SO COLD THAT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T MOVE VERY MUCH BECAUSE COLD BLOODED ANIMALS, THEY BASICALLY GET THEIR ENERGY LEVELS DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. SO IN HERE, IT'S NICE AND WARM AND THEY HAVE SOME WE MIGHT HAVE A WINNER HERE SOON. NOW FOR YOU WATCHING AT HOME. WHAT'S REALLY NEAT ABOUT THEIR SHELLS IS THAT IT'S MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS OUR FINGERNAILS AND HAIR, SOMETHING CALLED KERATIN. SO IF YOU FEEL YOUR FINGERNAILS AND HOW THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT FLEXIBLE. WELL, YOUR FINGERNAILS ARE VERY, VERY THIN. THEIR SHELVES ARE ABOUT 50 TIMES THE THICKNESS OF YOUR FINGERNAILS. SO THEY'RE VERY STRONG SHELLS. BUT WHAT'S REALLY NEED IS IF I WERE TO GO LIKE THIS ON ZOE SHELVES, SHE CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THAT IT'S KIND OF LIKE TO KILLING HER. AND THAT'S BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THAT SHELL IS VERY THICK, THEY DO HAVE A SPINE THAT CONNECTS ALL THE WAY ALONG THE MIDDLE ON THE TOP SECTION HERE. AND SO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE NERVE ENDINGS AND THEY CAN FEEL WE MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPSET HERE. WHAT'S REALLY COOL IS THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM HERE. AND SO I'M GONNA HANDED OFF TO A ME. HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEER AND MAYBE GET TO WORK WITH SOME OF THESE AWESOME ANIMALS. AWESOME. THANKS.
