TURTLES COULD POSE RISK TO AIRCRAFT AT NARITA成田空港の滑走路脇でカメが繁殖

An animal long considered a lucky charm in Japan has been anything but for aviators near Tokyo.
NHK has learned that one of Narita Airport's two runways was temporarily shut down in September after a large turtle was spotted trudging along it.
Airport officials believe the turtle was a red-eared slider, a non-native species with a high reproductive rate. Officials believe it came from a rainwater reservoir adjacent to the runway.
NHK was allowed to visit the pond and spotted many of the turtles. There is no barrier between the pond and the runway, and sightings of the turtles are on the rise at the airport.
(Kobayashi Hiroyuki / Aviation expert)
"Turtles have hard shells, so they could be more dangerous for aircraft engines than bird strikes if they are inhaled into an engine during takeoff."
