I spotted this Box Turtle on the auto tour road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It was moving fast – I have never seen a turtle move like that before! It was stretched out, like it was trying to cross a finish line. I quickly jumped out of my pickup, hand-held my camera and lens, and got the shot – all without needing to worry about helping it, of course.
