"Their only enemy is the sun".
Welp, not off to a good start lol.
It's only a giant ball of nuclear fire.
I have a teenage Russian tortoise, so I can relate to this video
naturally umbrella ⛱️⛱️⛱️😅
The first sentence: «these creatures can float…»
Why don't they go to the sea, then? I mean, water can be hot, but not boiling hot.
Why does half of the shots look like CGI?😅
I’ve actually never thought about this but it makes sense. Poor tortoises!
Never seen tortoises move this quickly before. No wonder they beat hares in races?!?!?!
I have Animals video ❤

Very cool! 🐢
Of course every single animal plays a vital role in the ecosystem, but i just can't imagine planet earth without tortoises and birds, they beautify our planet and make it a livable place, precious creatures.
Pollution heats up the earth, especially plastic particles. We are slowly killing plants and animals, and destroying this planet.
Some tortoises have been on earth for about 200 years. They have seen so much evolution from nature and inventions from people. Imagine the stories they could tell if they could speak.
Stop British Petroleum first. Then we can talk about the tortoises
