This Tortoise Just Made it to the Guinness World Records for Being the Fastest Tortoise Ever!

We know tortoises are one of the slowest creatures. They are even slower than turtles! That’s how we know them, and there’s even a fable dedicated to how slow they are in the story, “The Tortoise and the Hare”. But there’s one who has been set apart from all other tortoises by setting a record that’s Guinness World Records-worthy.

He isn’t just your regular tortoise. He loves strawberries and likes his girlfriend Shelly a lot. They spend most of their time together when he’s not walking around the Adventure Valley Park in Durham, UK. He may seem like an ordinary tortoise, but when he walks, he surely goes fast!
