Who said tortoises are slow?
The clip, filmed in the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, South Africa shows the moment a tortoise charged at a man to nip at his toes.
"I had this angulate tortoise come charging at me from 50-metres-away. To my surprise, it started to charge my foot. Some people have said it looks like I kicked it when it eventually bit me, but I can assure you that's not the case. When it bit me I pulled my foot away and the tortoise was still attached to my shoe. No tortoises were harmed in the making of this video!" The filmer Alfie told Newsflare.
