Yup I have seen the video. I have played it over and over again and tried to figure out where it was shot. I expect others have been doing the same and if they find him/her they (that strange pronoun) will be given a name and there will be reports of sightings and we will pause in our daily strife to say Aw.
For a city that prides itself on being the hog butcher of the world (which was like a hundred years ago, but we remember stuff. The 1985 Bears, like it happened last season.) we have a soft spot for animals.
Recently there was a heifer that was kidnapped by some high school kids and got away and escaped the fate of becoming a hundred Italian beefs will now live out its life on some humane farm. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/niles-cow-hooved-animal-humane-society/
Most famous is probably Chance the Snapper, the alligator found in a park lagoon who evaded capture for days and is now in some park in Florida where we Chicagoans are happy to hear he had grown quite big and is now bullying the other alligators. Good for him. https://abc7chicago.com/chance-the-snapper-chicago-caught-humboldt-park-alligator/6309348/
And then there is the poignant story of the love of the plovers Monty and Rose. https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/04/26/imani-piping-plover-baby-of-monty-and-rose-returns-to-montrose-beach-for-2nd-straight-year/
I don't know about that turtle though, his condition does not look right, though of course I, and all of us Chicagoans wish him our very best.
