Isn't New York supposed to be fast-paced? Woman shell-shocked by response to advert for a TORTOISE walker in Central Park

A woman has been inundated with emails after advertising for a tortoise walker in New York City.

Harlem resident Amanda Green, 30, took to Craigslist on Tuesday where she placed a notice for pet-friendly people to accompany her 17-year-old African tortoise, Henry, around iconic Central Park.

And yet, while it may seem incongruous for a fast-paced city such as Manhattan, she's been overwhelmed with applicants keen to take the $11 per-hour position.

Not least because the animal is quite the social media star - with thousands of followers on Instagram, where he is known as The Notortoise BIG.
