Interpreting tortoise talk

Viewers are offering their own interpretations of the tortoise's unexpected action. Some believe it's a sign of good luck, while others think the little reptile was expressing fear of being held.

Animal experts say if you come across a tortoise in the wild, it's crucial not to pick it up. Like a frightened young child who might wet their pants, a tortoise will release its bladder if alarmed.
