Touche. Land speed calculation from that video?

I'd assume 88 mph, since the tortoise didn't emerge from the other side, only a thin trail of flames...

LOL, a downslope, and possibly moist grass. Let's see it on flat dry ground.

Here you go sir.  Smiley

what will they claim, that the tortoise was moving too fast towards them?

Those things are VERY fast.

Here is actual video from another close encounter...

So maybe they are super fast, but I NEVER heard about turtle who killed a man. And I doubt that policeman was in danger so grave he had to shoot it. But it is overall minor problem in times when people are dying like nothing happened in various places of the world.
I think the police officer was simply being overzealous

Tortoises get a bad rap because some people breed them for fighting turtles. I just wish people understood that they can be really loving animals.


Nah man, that's awful! Turtles are such peace-loving creatures! I once had a turtle, such a cutey-patootey! I fed it all kinds of salad and grasses. They couldn't hurt anyone! But one day it ran away. I couldn't find it, it was just too fast Sad

WTF is wrong with that guy, which turtle is aggresive? That guy should get some other job. Imagine him with a agresive guy, that guy would be dead meat for sure.
