10 Amazing Animal World Records

One Durham, North Carolina tortoise, has left his competition in the dust by being crowned the fastest the world has ever seen. Bertie, the speedy tortoise, runs at a speed of about 0.6 miles per hour. This means that he is twice as fast as the average tortoise, and can finish a 100m race in just six minutes. Although he may not be competing with Usain Bolt anytime soon, Bertie lives contentedly in his "luxury enclosure with his girlfriend Shelly" where he enjoys his favorite snack—strawberries.
