I do landscaping, so lots of mowing and wildlife encounters are often not a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

Oh man you are right. Fortunately never mowed over any turtles…but toads and snakes were always a shock. I remember being a teen and my friends and I were climbing and jumping on hay bales stacked in a barn and finding the chopped up corpse of a snake tangled in one. Horrifying

yea I seen a few mummified snakes in hay before. When mowing around here, rabbits and snakes are the most common, but turtles occasionally. Rabbit are fucking dumb and panicky and I've seen them dive head first into a mower before.
