"Unlike turtles, who abandon their eggs in order to prevent drawing attention to them, Tortoises actually stick around and protect their eggs, sitting on them like a bird. At least two natural predators of these eggs (not the tortoises themselves) are black in color. Black snakes (more than one kind), and Ravens/Crows.
Sorry, but that is nonsense. First, tortoises are turtles. Second, while it has been speculated that some tortoise species might be guarding their nests (
I'm not a tortoise expert by any means, but I had one in a house I rented for 6 months. One day we rescued another tortoise and we put them together hoping they'd be friends. The new kid started headbutting our turtle just like that one, and when we weren't looking after about 10 minutes of such bullying, we found them having sex. So it might not be racism, maybe even the opposite !
Sooo my gf’s brother-in-law (black and Hispanic) came over one evening with his 10 year old nephew (black). Her dog, which is normally super friendly and playful, started GROWLING hard at the kid and barking threateningly. Needless to say we were all shocked and irate at the dog’s response, and it took a solid HOUR to get him to VERY hesitantly allow the very gentle and soft-spoken kid to pet him, but he was still clearly not relaxed about it.
Not many white tortoises. Tortoise sees dark colors and assumes it's another tortoise. Almost all turtles are solitary and territorial, so he goes into headbutt mode.
No, it’s not. Can we stop this? What did turtles/tortoises ever do to deserve being associated with that ghoul? McConnell looks more like an exhumed corpse, so can we just start referring to him that way and leave the fucking turtles alone?
They have good eyesight and night vision, they also can see from long distances and can see a lot of different colors including ultraviolet. They can see better than some predator reptiles like snakes lol (but snakes have infrared vision so they're also cool)
Maybe... ...through experience, he sees the white sneakers as rocks maybe? Maybe there are white rocks around his living space and he knows he can't knock them over?
It's not racist. The black shoe looks more like a turtle than the white shoe... He's trying to dominate his space. That could be a potential challenger. So he checks it to see if it moves.
Don't black shoes matter? T was like "patrolling my beat....white, ok, white, ok, white, ok, white...come back around white, OK, WAIT THAT AINT WHITE..WTF! IS THIS I'MA HEAD BUTT YOU INTO OBLIVION! YOU ARE DEAD, I WILL SMASH YOU...oh wait white excuse me I'll just get back to my beat good day to you; hat tip and wall away"
I keep seeing him and I always laugh. Someone in the old video said it was related to mating but above they say it’s to protect its eggs. I’m not sure but he loves giving headbutts.
I’ve been seein that tortoise on tiktok for a while. Definitely racist lmaoo. Any object close to blacc he just beats it up. Bet he won’t beat me up though 😂
The actual reason why they're doing this is wholesome though, because they do it to try and flip the shoe over... cuz they mistake it for a flipped tortoise.
He went around the corner all “now I know damn well I’m not seeing shit”
Damnit Uncle Tort. You promised for this year’s summer family picnic and games you would leave your racism at home!
Just for fun, here’s a study on tortoise color preferences. Seems they prefer brighter warm colors to cool dark ones.
Who would pay for that study? I think the color preference of tortoises is the least of their worries.
I think it is a mating behaviour and he thinks the shoe is another tortoise
I love you

I wish to subscribe to tortoise facts.
Wow! This is like the old times when the top comment was actually useful and informative.
Either that or he is a shoe racist

That's a great write up but I'm positive that tortoise is racist as fuck.
This should be top comment

Somebody tell me the scientifically non racist explanation for this!
In beat with body slams.
They think it’s a flipped tortoise so they try to push it back over

Pretty sure they mistake the shoes for crows.
Wait...what is the racist explanation?
This cop believed in reincarnation
They’re sexually attracted to that color.
Ladddddyyyyy Birdddd
No scientist, but most educated guess. This is what you call "Black Airforce 1s energy".
Not many white tortoises. Tortoise sees dark colors and assumes it's another tortoise. Almost all turtles are solitary and territorial, so he goes into headbutt mode.
Same reason cats hiss at their own reflections
Total guess: senses heat, white reflects heat, black absorbs and is hotter plus looks vaguely small animal shaped. Headbutt.
Bigot turtle 😔
Oh thank God, I thought he was gonna fuck it.
So, that wasn't foreplay?
And now I can hear the video in my head so thanks for that.
Don’t worry he’s only being racist he’s not raping a shoe
"Duck. Duck. Duck. GOOSE!"
"White, white, white, whi- hold on a minute"
Is that Mitch McConnell?
No, it’s not. Can we stop this? What did turtles/tortoises ever do to deserve being associated with that ghoul? McConnell looks more like an exhumed corpse, so can we just start referring to him that way and leave the fucking turtles alone?

The owner can't be there. They would've stomped lil bro out.
I wanna say I saw this tortoise before and someone said that a black shoe had stepped on him and now he holds a grudge.
The white shoes it recognises as random objects or rocks, the black shoe it mistakes for another tortoise and is doing 1 of 3 things
When he’s right he’s right. It was the worst looking shoe
[удалено]
That turtle needs diversity training.
Didnt know they can see colours or lack thereof
They have good eyesight and night vision, they also can see from long distances and can see a lot of different colors including ultraviolet. They can see better than some predator reptiles like snakes lol (but snakes have infrared vision so they're also cool)
???? You didn’t think tortoises could tell black from white??
White and black aren't colors, there tones, if you couldn't see those you'd be blind
To be fair it probably isn’t something you need to know

I will always upvote this funny tortoise. Cheers OP
Got stepped on by a person wearing black shoes as a young turtle and never forgot or forgave?
Maybe... ...through experience, he sees the white sneakers as rocks maybe? Maybe there are white rocks around his living space and he knows he can't knock them over?
If you google racist turtle there’s a bunch of links to articles with hilariously weird headlines and further racist turtle experiments
Today I learn tortoise have attack move.

Sad to see one of my childhood heroes turn out to be a racist POS. I’ll never look at the Donatello the same again.

Eventually he’ll learn watergun.
