A beautiful African spurred (Sulcata) tortoise named Princess Neferu who lives at Badger Run Wildlife Rehab in Klamath Falls, Oregon, contentedly wiggled her backside back and forth while seated inside a scratching station that a volunteer named Chuck built for her. The princess, as she's known, really enjoys having her back scratched and this thoughtful contraption certainly hits the spot.
