timmy the turtle

I found a turtle in the middle of the road, so guess what I did? I got out of my car and moved him to the side of the road.
I was proud of myself for saving a life. But then LATER my dad told me that when you take turtles off the road, they usually go right back to the spot.
I hope this turtle didn't do that.

okay. i researched, and guess what?
"If you decide you’re going to move a turtle, follow this rule: Move it in the same direction it was heading when you found it. If you push it back off the road, it will just turn around and continue on its mission when you’re gone. Russell Hopping, an ecologist with the Trustees of Reservations, says turtles go back to the same sites year after year"
we cool, we cool.
