I see box turtles sorta trot, when I see one in the middle of the road I stop and try to get them across the road so they won’t get run over. They speed up and their shells hit the road, sounds ugly but you can’t catch them BUT at least they get across the raod

Too bad a Fox wasn’t chasing him. . .

Leave trotting to the mammals, reptile.

And… Was it worth the effort? Maybe next time try Tölt.

Wait until he tries galloping…

Which do you prefer?

Turtle Trot Dance, Turtle Trot Race, or Turtle Trot Soup?

Why did the turtle cross the road?

To get to the shell station.

Why do turtles never forget?

Because they have turtle recall.

What do you call a turtle chef?

A slow cooker.

What do you call a turtle who takes up photography?

A snapping turtle.

Do what you can don’t what you canter.

As long as it was a trot and not a case of the trots…

I’d like to see a turtle trot. I’ve seen a turkey trot.

Must have been some “hype”.

Is a turtle that gallops a, ahem…Gallop-agos Tortoise?

Exercise for a turtle? Pulling in its head and legs twice in an hour.

It’s overrated.

Did it match your expectations? Personally I find trotting jiggles the flesh too much.. but, turtles might be different.

The “Turtle Trot”? I’ve heard of it but I’ve never even seen it, much less done it. (until now)

Surprise!

LOL!

That gait doesn’t look like a trot to me. My guess it is a pace, same gait this turtle uses both fast & slow movement. But with my lack of expertise and only still images to go by, I could be wrong about this important matter. Fact check please.

He’s practicing his ballroom dance lesson. Next he’ll move on to the tango

And ………… was the hype “RIGHT” ….. :)

When an animal is trotting, the legs move in a diagonal direction; that is, left foreleg and right hindleg move together, as do the right foreleg and left hind leg. This turtle is doing the pace, i.e., left legs move together and right legs move together.

Overrated, wasn’t it? I used to do it every now and then.

That looks not so much like a trot as a pacing gait. In a trot, a horse’s RF and LR legs would go forward as the LF and RR legs moved back. In a pace, both rights move forward as both lefts move back. That is what I see here.

The other day I had the trots … news at 11.

Gee, he spelled it out for you FOUR times… can’t you read? :-)

I hope it’s not “The Trots”…

Try skipping next. I heard it improves your mood
