Get the SHELL out of here! Astonishing moment terrified turtle scuttles over grass at mind-boggling speed then plops into a lake.
Turtles are usually slow creatures because they have no reason to be fast, as herbivores they don't have to chase their food to eat.
Due to their thick shells they aren't usually bothered by predators either and because of this they have reason to be speedy.
However when spooked, turtles can run between three to four mph but this can risk broken bones, shells and sprains.
