How would you like it if a film crew barged their way into your place, and started gawking at you getting it on? You’d wile out just like this tortoise did.
A National Geographic film crew were making a documentary on an island in the Seychelles when they heard a “pushing, blowing kind of sound” a few hundred metres away. They followed the sound, and came across an incredible sight—two rare giant tortoises mating. It’s an event almost never seen by human eyes, so they rushed over to capture it on film, in all its natural beauty.
Obviously, the male tortoise wasn’t having any of this. He’s just trying to have a tender moment with his bae, when a load people burst in and start filming them. Understandably, he was pissed. He charged as the crew angrily, at top speed. Which for a giant tortoise, isn’t very fast. But he was determined AF—he chased presenter Paul Rose for nearly 200 metres, until Rose remember he was a human and could jog faster than a tortoise.
