How long does it take a desert tortoise to cross to the other side of a highway in southern Arizona?
It remains a mystery after an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper rescued a desert tortoise that tried to cross Interstate 10 near Picacho in the US state.
According to authorities, a motorist called on July 30 to report a turtle trying to cross a busy highway connecting Casa Grande and Tucson in Pinal County.
The motorcyclist and Arizona Department of Public Safety Sergeant Steven Sekrecki managed to safely remove the turtle from the road.
The Arizona Republic reported that Sekrecki spotted the word "Stitch" on the turtle's shell and called an ostrich farm about 3 miles away. The farm confirmed that the turtle, named Stitch, was a resident animal and had somehow escaped from its home.
Next, Stitch the turtle was brought back to the farm, ending the animal's failed escape.
