Some might think it strange that Santa has pet turtles way up at the North Pole. It actually happened quite by accident. One Christmas Eve, while Santa was delivering his gifts in the warmer climates, some turtles had snuck onto his sleigh and hid under the seat. Santa didn’t notice until he parked his sleigh back at the North Pole and was ready to call it a night. When he looked down to step out of his sleigh there they were! Being much too tired to do any more traveling, the reindeer talked Santa into finding a nice place near his fish tank to make them a home. These turtles are very shy and like to hide but if you click inside their tank to feed them they will come out. With your help the elves can stay on track to make ready for Christmas Eve. Santa is happy to have you for his new helper! And so are the turtles!
