This must be unusual wildlife day here on the homestead

When I was looking outside past the deck I saw a medium sized turtle booking it for all he was worth in the woods behind the house. In the semi rare event I see a turtle it is usually after a rainstorm when they come out on the road to get warm, and they are always fairly small. This one was two or three times bigger than the ones I usually see. And it was so funny to see how fast he was going. He was also sticking his neck way out periodically like he was trying to get a good look at where he was going. Funny to see one so far from water. If that is what he was looking for he was going in the wrong direction. I did have one in the yard once..I am reasonably certain it got eaten by a snake because there was one in the vicinity.
