This is a short video of radiated tortoise (named because of the starburst patterns on their shells) Turnip shaking her rump while she receives a shower at the Tennessee Aquarium. Radiated tortoises have actually been documented doing this sort of rain dance during periods of heavy precipitation in their native Madagascar. How about that! Now it might look like a slow wiggle to us, but that’s actually fast for a tortoise and if she posted this on reptile TikTok there’s no doubt in my mind that all four of the Ninja Turtles would be trying to slide into her DMs right now.
