State troopers, with the help of a few good Samaritans, stopped traffic and picked up the escapee: Stitch, a giant sulcata tortoise with a sand-colored shell.
Stitch broke out of his enclosure and a few layers of fences at the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch before being found on the four-lane highway.
The night before escaping, storms damaged ranch gates and enclosures, helping Stitch make his getaway despite being one of the only two tortoises small enough to fit through the fence.
"How in the world or where he got out? Ms. Cogburn said. I'm not really sure." - Danna Cogburn, owner of the ranch, expressing surprise at Stitch's escape route.
