But that isn’t the biggest surprise.
During its final scenes, “Monsters of God” reveals that Ken McCloud, a special agent for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who worked tirelessly to apprehend Wong, has been keeping a ploughshare tortoise — the most endangered tortoise in the world, with only around 100 remaining in the wild — in his home.
“I didn’t know he was trying to keep it a secret,” Goode says. “He was very paranoid about theft, and didn’t even want to put the tortoise outside in his backyard because he was so worried that someone might steal it, since it’s so valuable. He got increasingly paranoid and that tortoise became more and more important to him, almost like his only child.”
