18个月后，失踪的乌龟塔卢拉在距家一英里的地方被发现

20 岁的塔卢拉 (Tallulah) 去年年初因建筑工程受到惊吓而逃离。业主林兹·卡瓦纳 (Linzi Cavanagh) 表示，她和她的四个孩子都被摧毁了

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

一只失踪 18 个月的宠物乌龟在距她家一英里的洞穴中被发现。

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 岁的塔卢拉 (Tallulah) 去年年初因建筑工程受到惊吓而逃离。店主林兹·卡瓦纳 (Linzi Cavanagh) 表示，当她和四个孩子找不到心爱的朋友时，他们感到非常沮丧。他们竭尽全力寻找她，甚至组织了一支搜寻队。

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

林子说：“我们有16、17个人，拿着耙子把整个田地里里外外都清了一遍。我们找不到她。”

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

她甚至在当地的 Facebook 页面和公交车站张贴了海报。

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.

幸运的是，塔卢拉最终被布莱恩·默里（Bryan Murray）发现，他看到了其中一张海报，第二天在坎姆斯阿灵顿附近的家附近骑马时发现了她。

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

他说：“我是一名观鸟者，所以要注意任何不同的地方。

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

“我走近了一点，心想，‘我认识那只乌龟’。”

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

布莱恩说塔卢拉已经挖了一个洞穴来躲避。林子很高兴，她说，当塔卢拉被移交给她时，她“有点歇斯底里”。

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.

她补充道：“我不敢相信我们让她回来了。令人惊奇的是，一只名叫 Rayne Beau 的迷路猫在怀俄明州黄石国家公园露营旅行迷路两个月后，也长途跋涉 900 英里回到了加利福尼亚州的主人身边。
