The West Japan Railway Company has teamed up with Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe to make their tracks safer — for turtles.
Believe it or not, turtles getting stuck on railroad tracks is a big problem. They cause delays for trains and many turtles die because of the tracks.
Several “turtle escape” tunnels have now been fitted across problem points in the tracks.
Since August experts say 10 incidents have been stopped thanks to the new turtle crossing tunnels.
Now nothing can stop these little guys, well other than a slight increase in angle.
