Tiptoe, a 175-pound tortoise, was evacuated during the devastating Palisades Fire, which forced thousands from their homes in northwest Los Angeles.
The tortoise's owner, Caitlan Doran, shared their escape journey on social media, garnering millions of views and highlighting their urgent evacuation.
Doran's family may have lost their home, as the fire destroyed approximately 1,000 residences within their tight-knit community.
While the family is safe at a new location, they face uncertainty about their future, as everything familiar seems to have been lost.
Tiptoe, who has lived with Doran for 23 years, is adjusting to his new surroundings but remains confused due to recent changes.
