Someone has a 40lb turtle as a pet. The turtle wandered off and the owner couldn't find him. He hired the drone company and they found the turtle safe, and in less than 10 minutes I was really happy to read the outcome
Here is a YouTube video:

(19,914 posts)Along with sheltering the wild creatures, they also feed feral cats. A couple years ago, my daughter put dry food in a dish for the feral cats. As soon as a lurking box turtle heard the rattle of the food hitting the dish, it booked out of hiding and ran up their drive to the dish. My daughter got it on video, and man, that fella could make time! It was surprising and delightful

I was leaning in and looking at the video looking intently for the tortoise. LOL!
