All in all, roughly 8,000 of the tortoises managed to survive the near-death experience. At this point, the team switched their focus to what to do with the animals. They weren’t sure if the tortoises were ready to go back to the wild, but the team was sure no facility could care for all 8,000 animals. Since the poor creatures went through the worst, everyone wanted them to feel comfortable and happy.

Not Going Back To The Wild
In the end, it was not possible to release the tortoises back into the wild because they have been in that house for much of their lives.

This is why it was decided that they will be taken care of closely by experts who will make sure that they are both safe and comfortable. The tortoises can now finally relax.
