Explorer Interrupts Mating Tortoises, Slowest Chase Ever Ensues

This male tortoise didn't take too kindly to these humans interrupting his mating session on Assumption Island, and can we blame him? He started chasing Journalist and explorer, Paul Rose and his cameraman on the small island located in the Indian Ocean north of Madagascar and which is part of the country of the Seychelles. They were there for the National Geographic Pristine Seas expedition to the Seychelles when they encountered the tortoises...

Fast Fact: Assumption Island is a single coral island which measures 11.07 km2 (4.27 sq mi) in area and the long, white, sandy beach that stretches the eastern side of the island has been several times named 'the best beach in the world' for its white sand, crystalline waters, diversity of marine life and, due to its remote location, lack of crowds (or in fact, any people at all).
