Tortoise chasing a tomato

I am embedding a four-minute video of a tortoise attacking a tomato merely so that I can add the caption “My food is problematic” to it.

There should be more tortoises.

Wow, that tortoise sure is determined! Squishy gives up if her food is too hard to eat. I doubt she'd survive a day in the wild, bless her.

It almost looks like some stegosaurus-type dinosaur playing with a beach ball.

My mother would never let me have a tortoise/turtle. She said they were dirty creatures with nasty germs.

The Turtle Tortise Moves! *cheers*

In the first few seconds, I saw this as another Sisyphean metaphor for life (re: your post about shovelling sand and to-do lists). I actually cheered when the tortoise finally got to take a bite out of the tomato.

*grin* Yeah, I had to stay all the way through the video and see if he got it. You go, tortoise!

I like the sand image better than Sisyphus because the sand shovelling is a necessary task for the woman to survive, and it's an endless cycle of her shovelling sand in order to live another day--a day where she must shovel more sand. Plus, it's more like a teeming hoard of small problems than one big one. But I'm digressing.

That is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. However, I do believe that the tortise would have eventually cornered that little bugger without human intervention, though it would have gotten to the point where it was kind of painful to watch.
