Perhaps inspired by the fame of the escaped Bronx Zoo Cobra -- who accumulated 200,000 Twitter followers and national media attention before being discovered seven days later -- the 150 turtles who crawled onto the tarmac at New York City's JFK airport on Wednesday have apparently started a Twitter account of their own.

The turtles, which are searching for beaches to lay their eggs, have caused numerous flight delays since they were first spotted around 6:45 a.m. ET, according to the Associated Press.
@JFKTurtles opened their account at about 10:00 a.m. ET by retweeting a message from JetBlue that read, "JFK is experiencing delays as the airport clears turtles off the runway. #cantmakethisup."
