ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (KRQE) - A turtle from New Mexico had quite an adventure recently.
The African spurred tortoise had escaped from its Alamogordo home and a week and a half later was spotted crossing the road at Cree Meadows golf course in Ruidoso.
Animal control picked up the 35-pound tortoise and after calling the Alamogordo zoo found out someone had reported missing the turtle.
The owner and reptile were reunited.
It's still unclear exactly how the 8-year-old tortoise made the 50 mile trek.
