im not a tortise expert so i dont know if this is normal but i must say i thought it was pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul0gfCyeiyM this little guy is tough as nails! and brave to boot.

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

Its normal behaviourally for a tortoise yep, they can be territorial and mobbing a predator they dont want near them is normal too, what isnt normal is the schmuck of an owner not seperating them before conflict happens. That tortoise could easily have been killed by that cat, or mutilated, the loss of an eye or septacaemia from the cats claws being not in the least funny, and a good bite from the tortoise could remove a cats nose or toe.

Funny at first, but less so the more you see it.

I agree that tortoise needs his own pen or at least a brick to hold him still.
My all time favourite YouTube is Rabbit vs snake. Go the bunny.

The tortoise was like LSU and the cat was like the buckeyes. God, I'm hilarious.

Great video Bren! I've never seen anything like these two videos before! I guess you can learn a lot from you tube.

hey, you're right in the sense that neither deserved to be put against each other. it should have been a bulldog instead of the tortoise....
