Default Preserve the wildlife
I was coming home on Belle Meade around 10am today and a turtle was crossing the road in front of me and now in the on-coming traffic lane. I stopped wanting to pick it up and move it along. Lucky for me a car wizzed around me before I could get out of the truck. Unfortunately for the turtle, the car ran directly over it, flipped it up in the air and it landed back on it's flippers, seemed to be moving along. Those shells are really hard. I'm hoping the car never realized it just ran over a turtle and was instead confused by why I stopped in the road. Just a reminder that there's all kinds of wildlife out there.
