Tortoise vs Camera

[Burrow]

Hi!

I am new to the forum and thought you might enjoy this video.

It is a gopher tortoise investigating a camera at the entrance of it's burrow.

Ya gotta' wonder just how good a tortoise's eyesight is when they think a camera is another tortoise to chase out of their territory. Very interesting vid. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Yvonne G and sendie!

I was wondering what the head bobbing meant. I assumed it was an aggressive behavior.

Wow, I just watched that with my partner and we laughed our butts off while having our coffee. Thanks!

I thought the head bobbing was weird, almost looked like a seizure LOL. Cool vid. I wonder how long it takes for them to figure out its not edible or enemy

 

[Burrow]

Thanks wellington! I thought that the head bobbing was interesting also.

Hilarious video on full screen! You should sync up some rap music to the video; it seems fitting. ;D
