Bon-Chan is an African Sulcata Tortoise but an extraordinary large one, far bigger than any others of his species. Apparently this came from a mutation which made it that his spine never fused, which made it that he continues to grow. At 140 pounds, he's also the heaviest of his kind.

His owner Mr. Mitani, has already gotten the nickname "Kame-sennin" (Turtle Hermit) after Muten Roshi from Dragon Ball.

Looking at Bon-chan I start to see where the inspiration behind the design of the 2012 version of Slash came from.

That looks more like Muten Roshi's tortoise! He lost his way back to the Kame House!
