Rumble / Funny & Cute Animals — On one hand, you must know the timeless slimily as slow as a tortoise, on the other, there is a You must story about the race between the tortoise and the hare. Well, this video just goes to show exactly what the tortoise is not only smart but it also can be pretty athletic as well! It appears that the old folktales are not as true as we once thought! Watch the video and find out more!

The video taken on June 30, 2018, in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, USA, shows an event you can rarely see elsewhere: a large tortoise is literally chasing a large lawnmower around the yard. And catching up with it! Amazing! In the video, the father of the filmer, Jimbo Creppel, can be seen cutting the grass in their backyard, while their African Spurred Tortoise, Moses, chases him! Eventually, Moses catches up sometimes and climbs on top of the lawn mower until someone moves him or he feels like moving.

Who would have thought that tortoises could be so quick? This speedy tortoise is so light on his feet, he's able to chase after a lawnmower with very little trouble! Who will win this race? An astonishingly fast-moving African Spurred tortoise named Moses comically pursued his human Jimbo Creppel around the backyard as he systematically went back and forth across the grass with a lawn mower. According to Creppal’s kid, Moses likes to catch up with the mower and ride for a bit.

If this does not dispel the myths about tortoises being slow, we do not know what will! Tortoises can be fun, and cool too; also they can show a genuine bond with humans as well as other animals. Take a look for example of this video where abandoned puppies befriend a lonesome Giant Tortoise. Four tiny orphaned puppies were brought to a local PetSmart near Corona, California, inside a beer box. Foster mom Andrea took the scared and shaking pups home with her. The pups were fed, given a warm bed and a safe place to sleep but even with all that, something was missing in their lives.

At Andrea's home, she also rescued a Sulcata tortoise named Goliath. For the most part, Goliath was alone. One day Andrea found the puppies inside tortoise's hutch, snuggling with Goliath. The giant tortoise didn’t mind the company of the happy dogs, in fact, he was thrilled by their friendship and they helped him fight his loneliness.

These orphaned pups needed someone big and strong to protect them and replace the mother figure in their life. So, they found a protector in an eighty-pound Goliath. Since that day, the pups and their great big friend have been doing everything together.

Aren’t tortoises just awesome?
