The slow and steady tortoise managed to traverse multiple lanes of traffic to make the ultimate escape bid, leaving everyone questioning the limits of his hidden talents.
The daring escape of Speedy took place over a span of two days, during which frantic owner Terry Turtle searched high and low for his beloved pet. Little did Terry know that his prized tortoise was off on a grand adventure of his own, embarking on a journey that would take him to the other side of a busy interstate.
Eyewitnesses were left in a state of disbelief as they spotted the determined tortoise making his way across the lanes, seemingly unfazed by the fast-moving vehicles whizzing past him.
