This video has been posted sooooo many times. In actual fact it isn't 'cute and sweet' at all. The tortoise that is pushing the other one over has flipped it over, and now wants it off his territory. This is classic tortoise bullying. Unfortunately not enough tortoise owners understand tortoise behaviour and allow it to carry on. If you look closely the one who has been flipped is cowering. And the other marches it off his territory at the end of the video.

You said it. The victor is not helping the tortoise he flipped over, but rather righting him to make him leave. This is an example of aggression, not compassion.

Wow I didn't know that. I guess it's still somewhat nice that he didn't leave him to die.
Learn something new every time. Just because they are cute, does not mean they are cuddly. :)
