So I've got a story for you all, yesterday I was going about my day as usual when I saw something moving in the backyard, after getting up, I realized it was a turtle, a pretty big one too (Yes it was a turtle not a tortoise) and the first thing I thought is how the heck did a turtle get here I'm not close to any lake, I checked with the neighbors but nobody claimed to have lost a pet turtle and after some consideration and talking with some family members we concluded they must have washed out of the lake during the floods and somehow ended up in our nieghborhood and got into the backyard, still don't know how since we have a fence but since we were too far from any water and the turtle would most likely die if left alone we took him in, put him in a bin with some water, a rock to lay on and a bit of watermelon and lettuce, and then today when we had time we took him to the local pond and released them.
And this was the day I learned that turtles can actually run surprisingly fast when they want to, but it was a really happy sight to see a turtle rushing off and diving into the water, and then raising their head over the water to give us one last look before saying goodbye.
