18個月後，失蹤的烏龜塔盧拉在距離家一英里的地方被發現

20 歲的塔盧拉 (Tallulah) 去年年初因建築工程受到驚嚇而逃離。業主林茲·卡瓦納 (Linzi Cavanagh) 表示，她和她的四個孩子都被摧毀了

A pet tortoise that went missing for 18 months has been found in a burrow a mile from her home.

一隻失蹤 18 個月的寵物烏龜在距離她家一英里的洞穴中被發現。

Tallulah, 20, fled early last year after building work spooked her. Owner Linzi Cavanagh said she and her four children were devastated when they could not find their beloved pal. They did everything to locate her and even organised a search party.

20 歲的塔盧拉 (Tallulah) 去年年初因建築工程受到驚嚇而逃離。店主林茲·卡瓦納 (Linzi Cavanagh) 表示，當她和四個孩子找不到心愛的朋友時，他們感到非常沮喪。他們竭盡全力尋找她，甚至組織了一支搜尋隊。

Linzi said: “There were 16, 17 of us with rakes doing the whole of the fields up and down. We couldn’t find her.”

林子說：「我們有16、17個人，拿著耙子把整個田地裡裡外外都清了一遍。我們找不到她。

She even put posters on her local Facebook page and at bus stops.

她甚至在當地的 Facebook 頁面和公車站張貼了海報。

Luckily, Tallulah was finally spotted by Bryan Murray who saw one of the posters and the very next day spotted her while riding his horse close to their home near Arrington, Cambs.

幸運的是，塔盧拉最終被布萊恩·默里（Bryan Murray）發現，他看到了其中一張海報，第二天在坎姆斯阿靈頓附近的家附近騎馬時發現了她。

He said: “I’m a birdwatcher so notice anything that’s different.

他說：「我是一名觀鳥者，所以要注意任何不同的地方。

“I got a bit closer and thought, ‘I know that tortoise’.”

“我走近了一點，心想，’我認識那隻烏龜’。”

Bryan said Tallulah had made a burrow to stay sheltered. Delighted Linzi said she was “a bit hysterical” when Tallulah was handed over her.

布萊恩說塔盧拉已經挖了一個洞穴來躲避。林子很高興，她說，當塔盧拉被移交給她時，她「有點歇斯底里」。

She added: “I couldn’t believe we were getting her back. Amazingly, a lost cat called Rayne Beau also made a 900-mile trek home to his owners in California two months after getting lost on a camping trip in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

她補充說：「我不敢相信我們讓她回來了。令人驚訝的是，一隻名叫 Rayne Beau 的迷路貓在懷俄明州黃石國家公園露營旅行迷路兩個月後，也長途跋涉 900 英里回到了加州的主人身邊。
