 Golf is a game that is played on a very large course and it is kind of impossible to keep the boundaries in check. There is also a pond-like area in the field as well. In a recent golf game, there was a special appearance of a turtle, which was unexpected by everyone. It became a cute moment amidst the high-precision sport.

A turtle appears on the golf course out of nowhere

In the recently uploaded Twitter video, we could see a player taking a shot and when the cameras are focused on the ball, there seems to be a creature walking when the camera zooms in. It is actually a turtle which is slowly walking its way into the field. The video uploaded also shows the heartbeat of the turtle, which showcases the extraordinary advances in technology. His heartbeat was 18 BPM per second. Low and very less beats per minute count is the reason why turtles survive quite longer than humans.

There was one such incident on the football field where a squirrel invaded the Carabao cup match. It happened at the Etihad Stadium, which is the home ground of Manchester City. They had to make sure that the squirrel was taken away from the pitch as football is a very physical and hyper game and it could lead to injuries of such small creatures.

It’s beautiful to see people who organize and play sports always trying to take the animals away from the scene without inflicting any harm to them. Anyway, this shows that we are becoming more aware of the brutality animals endure and everyone is standing against it. There have also been the invasion of birds during sports. Attempts are always made to scare them away or to put them away from the field so that they can go wherever they were destined to.
