Watch a tortoise slowly, slowly chase off a man who interrupted him mating

The animal kingdom-equivalent of your mate walking in on you getting the ride.

NO ONE LIKES being caught in a compromising position. Not even tortoises.

While visiting Assumption Island (north of Madagascar), National Geographic explorer Paul Rose found two giant tortoises going at it.

Look at them having a little kiss:

Rose watched for a little while, remarking on how “beautiful” it was to see a couple of tortoises mating, until the male tortoise spotted the camera crew and made a beeline straight for them.

“Alright bruv, what you want?”

What follows is an extremely slow chase, with the tortoise hell bent on making Rose pay for interrupting his mating session.

You’d do it too if it happened to you.
