I have seen them go flying when they are in the road and a driver clips the edge of their shell with a tire - almost like tiddlywinks. I watched a redneck in a p/u in front of me actually aim for one and send it flying about 20' off the road. Not sure how this one got enough air to hit the windshield though.Some asshat tossed it.
Turtles don’t fly!
I was surprised years ago to find out regular old box turtles are endangered. Found one w my kids. Oldest daughter was looking up what to feed it and it said their numbers are declining.
they can be flipped up by cars trying not to hit one but catching the edge of the shell as they try to dodge it.
