I am duly impressed.
I was also impressed with what I thought was altruism...only to find out that that particular behaviour is supposedly a show of aggression...
However...I remain undecided.
There's probably some highly complex tortoise psychology going on that we are just too dense to comprehend. ..lol.
What a rescue that was. Lovely video. Thanks for posting,One more, definitely some sense of urgency there too

maybe aggression, but once the tort is "unflipped" everything is back to normal, no more aggression? But yeah, hard to judge about motives and stuff...
I've noticed certain turtles in my collection have a tendency to hang out together.
I don't believe my tortoises are ever happy, or sad, just content or stressed. They couldn't care less if I never saw them again. My parents' yellow lab on the other hand demonstrates more need for social interactions with me. When I am home visiting family, she is around the house most of the time, otherwise she is usually at my grandparents during the day.
It very well could be aggression, but we don't have enough video to conclude "everything is back to normal" at the end.
but we have to ask ourselves "why are they hanging out?".
Strange and at the same time interesting.maybe aggression, but once the tort is "unflipped" everything is back to normal, no more aggression? But yeah, hard to judge about motives and stuff...
