That's really cool ... but you gotta wonder if the little guy overturned the big one in a duel in the first place.

This video has been posted here several times I think they were fighting and the other continued the fight myself. No beginning, sorry to be such a downer.

I thought maybe it was an accident while mating or somethin. I never thought fighting!

Oh sure, the males of many tortoise species fight for breeding rights, often with the objective of overturning their rival. Here are two male California desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) battling it out, with one of them getting flipped over early on in the contest. Notice how the guy who does the flipping then proceeds to right his opponent, only to carry on fighting again!

guess they are trying to get all that built up frustration out even if it means righting you opponent to continue fighting...
