What if turtles were fast?
Many of these predators just leave them be. The ecological adaptation and biological makeup of the turtle also make them wary of fast movement. If the turtle walks too fast, for example, it can have a fall, which will lead to bruises, make it develop sprains or break its bones (or shell if you like).

Do turtles move slowly?
Lastly, a turtle is slow because of their shell. Most evolutionary anthropologists believe that the “pre-shell” turtles were much faster than present-day turtles with shells. While most turtles (specifically land turtles) are known for their very slow speed, it is important to note that all turtles are not slow.

How fast can a normal turtle run?
As a matter of fact, Turtles are good runners only when the right moment comes; they can run at a speed of 3-4 mph (5 to 6.5 km/hr). It may not seem like an actual speed; however, considering the turtle’s physiology, it is pretty good. The rate at which they can run varies from species to species.
