The tortoise was not always a bald animal. He used to have hair on his head, however, due to unfortunate circumstances, which the tortoise brought "upon his own head" literally speaking, he lost it all.

It happened a very long time ago, the dog and his family had prepared a feast of yam porridge. The aroma reached the tortoise who immediately followed it, this which led him to the dog's home.
The tortoise went in and saw that a big pot of yam porridge was cooking. Wanting all of it for himself, he called out to the dog and told him that he had brought a message from the king.

The dogs immediately left to see the king leaving the tortoise with the big simmering pot of yam porridge. The tortoise began to eat as fast as he could. He knew that the dogs would be back soon because the king was not even at the palace.

And soon, he heard the dogs approaching. There was still a lot of porridge left in the pot. The tortoise wanted to take some home with him and looked around for something he could put some porridge in. The dogs by now were almost at the door. As he was running out of time, the tortoise pulled off his cap, filled it with the porridge and put it back on so nobody would know he was carrying porridge. He planned to hurry off immediately because the porridge on his head was indeed hot.

Eventually, the porridge was so hot that the tortoise just
had to pull off his hat. Everybody was shocked when he
pulled of his hat to reveal the steaming hot porridge. The porridge had burned his scalp so badly that all his hair fell off and in fact, never grew back again.
That is why the tortoise has a bald head up till now.
