Video: Reporter gets slowly chased by an angry & horny giant tortoise

In fairness, the tortoise should have left a tie on the doorknob

This has to be the world’s slowest ever chase.

Explorer Paul Rose was recently shooting a documentary for National Geographic on Assumption Island, which is part of the Seychelles, when he heard a strange noise in the distance.

After further investigation, Paul stumbled across two mating giant tortoises, but the male didn’t take too kindly to being disturbed mid-session.

This triggers the world’s slowest chase between the giant angry horny tortoise and Paul’s fearless cameraman.

We wouldn’t be sticking a camera in the face of any creature that just got c*ck-blocked.

Massive thanks to Darren Creaven for sending this our way
