AturtlefromLove Hinathat was given toKeitaroubyMutsumi. She is an 'onsen kame' or hot-springs turtle, and like others of her species, it appears that she can fly. Keitarou points out that the turtle is male, but the girls are convinced he is a 'she' and so 'he' is referred to as 'she' throughout the manga.-by Wikipedia-
