You don't want to mess with mating tortoises unless you're a very...average runner. In fact, you don't have to run at all — to escape a raging tortoise's wrath, all you have to do is sort of slowly stroll away. <br /> <br />This is exactly what happened to explorer Paul Rose, who interrupted the mating pair of giant tortoises on an island in the Seychelles. What happens next, as documented in a National Geographic video, is quite comical. The male tortoise tries to chase Rose away from its territory at full speed — which, by our estimate, is 100 about meters per hour. <br /> <br />It's not all fun and games, though — that tortoise looks pretty serious, and, while its pursuit might not be the fastest ever, it achieves its goal of chasing off the intruder. Eventually.
