These Cute Turtles Get Their Own Pimped Out Transportation System
Suma Aqualife Park is a tourist destination in Japan that's one part aquarium, one part beach. Conveniently located next to a railway station, tourists can ride in and enjoy everything the park has to offer. However, the location isn't such a convenience for local turtles. Turtles risk getting stuck by passing trains if they attempt to cross the tracks. If struck, the turtles unfortunately (obviously) are killed, but this also causes delays and damage to the trains.
10 turtles have reportedly been seen using the tracks since the April installation, which is great news for everyone involved. Turtles are safe to roam their natural habitat, and humans are free to keep traveling by train to a popular aquatic tourist destination.
Innovative design has come to the rescue once again it seems.
