Tortoise Chases Lawn Mower Around the Yard

A surprisingly fast moving African spurred tortoise named Moses amusingly chased his human Jimbo Creppel around the backyard as he methodically went back and forth across the grass with a lawn mower. According to Creppal’s kid, Moses likes to catch up with the mower and ride for a bit.

“My father, Jimbo Creppel, cutting the grass in our backyard while our African Spurred Tortoise, Moses, chases him! Eventually Moses catches up sometimes and climbs on top of the lawnmower until someone moves him or he feels like moving!
