(Not my image, so I didn’t actually measure this buddy’s speed, sorry. I don’t know where this was actually taken or what tortoise species this is. This may LOOK like a left hand drive country, but do the tortoises know the traffic laws? …that’s another matter, you know.)
Having worked with several large tortoise species, this is true. They can be much quicker than you expect, especially when they notice you have their favorite food.
It looks like either a Galapagos or Aldabra but I can’t tell for certain.
Not sure if a joke or not? I opened the post expecting a gif of a tortoise running down the road but was met with a static image.
If so … nicely played.
if it was a joke it would have been a gif and everyone in the comments would be like, “wow he’s really booking it” or something idk I’m not a memeologist.
Somebody, somewhere, has put “memeologist” as their career title.
Fewer roads for cars, more roads for tortoises
Snapping Turtles are remarkably fast in shallow water. I however am faster
