The Turtle Who Crossed the Road

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 11 December 2007 in Animal & Insect.

There must be a lot of turtles around here but I normally don't see them. Sometimes I see them in the middle of the road "running" as fast as the famous Greek tortoise. I wonder how many get run over (but while I've seen plenty of Armadillo bodies I can't say I've seen any dead turtles). I pulled over and carried this one across to, at least, temporary safety: then I took his picture (if he is a he --I have no idea how to tell the difference).
