Interestingly, tortoises have a prehensile penis that they can control like an elephant controls it's trunk.

those tortoises are heavier than they look. or those dudes are really weak.

is it not risky to hang the entire weight from its top shell, since that doesn't happen in nature?

They're pretty heavy, but more important is how you'd have to carry them by yourself. Uncomfortable and awkward for the human and tortoise.

I've hefted similar sized snapping turtles before. They're definitely not too heavy, though it isn't exactly picking up an empty box either. But if you try to carry them by yourself, you've got their shell or their belly against you or you're kind of waddling along while you hold them by the sides.

One of those in the picture isn't as dangerous as a snapping turtle, but they can still bite hard. So a two man carry is safer for the people as well as the critter.

Tortoises can get pretty heavy, I've heard of 200lbs before. I'm sure they can get even heavier depending on species

Also yea I've never really seen someone hold a tortoise like this, usually they grab the bottom kinda like lifting a box.
