How does one lose a tortoise? Was it in a race with a rabbit?

Known people who had snakes and tarantulas as pets, those I can see escaping.

Have fun its Saturday.

Not only was Shelley's journey a Rocky Road...

"She was spotted by the farmer who thought she was a big rock," owner Nick Phillips told the BBC. "Luckily, he realized rocks don't usually move and gave us a call."

[Kartographer]

As the tortoise was being hauled away from the at ice cream parlor it reportedly called out, ‘I Shell Return!’

Is the Turtle’s name Slow Joe?

Clapping madly! Hope the thread stays live for a while. Nice to wake up to this.

Did the turtle ask for magic shell.

“Don’t mind me. Just muddlin’ through…”

Leopard tortoise? Heard they’re the fastest of all the tortoises. And they ain’t no cheetahs!

[BradyLS]

“A scoop of strawberry, please. Watermelon if you have it. Take your time. I’m in no hurry.”

Mitch is somewhat annoyed: “I am not ‘lost’, nor am I in any urgent pursuit of ice cream, regardless of the flavor. I don’t know how this rumor got started!”

[OldHarbor]

The boy spotted the tortoise and thought it was a large rock at first.

[Jonty30]

I scream.
You scream.
Tortoise likes ice cream.

This tortoise wouldn’t have needed 16 days to go the distance.

Actually, it wasn’t lost

The tortoise escaped captivity and was subsequently recaptured

[BradyLS]

“Meet your Escape and Evasion instructor, Sgt. Rocky Tortoise!l. Sgt. Tortoise survived 16 continuous days loose in an unfamiliar and unfriendly urban environment with no assistance from the locals while avoiding all predators and search parties. Sgt. Tortoise broke cover to reveal his presence at an ice cream parlor—three miles from where he made his escape! Far outside the search area where he was given up for lost! YOU will learn the techniques that Sgt. Tortoise will share with you to make your way in a hostile environment, without assistance, for two weeks or more!”

Trying to imagine a Tortoise “On the loose...”

Was it a Baskin-Rabbits?
