Are you sure it is not the same one running/jogging back and forth?
The patterns on the other 2 which were only 10ft away from each other are different

She was headed out to lay eggs. Right time of year. Finally warm enough to incubate.I was over at a lake in NWI today and saw what we all thought was a strange sight. A Box turtle with about a 8 inch long and 5 inch wide shell was 200 ft from a 150 acre lake on a steep hill 35ft above the water level and heading away from the lake. In the 5 minutes or so we watched it it went about 25ft and disappeared into some bushes. We had other things to do and did not look for it again. There is no body of water within a mile from where that turtle was heading. If he continued on his path he would go another 125ft where he would cross a road and then into a 1 mile square field which was just planted within the last two weeks. Not sure if the field is beans or corn. Why might it be going that direction? Is this something common?
We took our kid to the zoo many moons ago, he was about 6 and there was a pair doing it at the zoo, it was great without sound but then add in slow motion moaning and it was hilarious. There were many people watching but mom wanted to protect the innocence of the little one so we didn't stay. Felt weird anyway.I was hiking through the woods several years ago when I encountered two box turtles having sex - talk about S L O W motion.
Foolproof method for determining the sex of a turtle: Follow it to the gas station and see which bathroom key it gets from the cashier.
