A giant tortoise broke out of the zoo and Western Archiveswas living life on the run, but it didn’t quite move fast enough … because, well, it’s a tortoise.
According to The Japan Times, a 35-year-old female tortoise named Abuh was found just 140 meters (about 450 feet) away from Shibukawa Animal Park in Okayama after going missing two weeks ago.

But surveillance camera footage showed the creature leaving the area on Aug. 1, completely destroying any semblance of an alibi.
As you can see from this photo, Abuh wasn't taking any questions from the press as she was escorted back home.

Abuh weighs 121 pounds and measures 3 feet in length, so it's not hard to miss this tricky turtle. Zookeepers offered 500,000 yen ($4,500) for Abuh's safe return, and before long, a nearby resident brought her back home safely.
“I feel relieved. From now on, we’ll make sure to take perfect care of our animals,” said zoo worker Yoshimi Yamane, adding that Abuh was in perfect condition and suffered no injury.

This isn't the first time Abuh has tried to escape the zoo and venture out on her own. According to NDTV, this is the second time in less than a month that she's disappeared.
"We were so relieved that she came back safely as she is so popular among children," Yamane added. "We will try to take new measures so that this won't happen again."
Abuh's dreams are just too big to be contained by the zoo's gate.
