A sexually frustrated tortoise spotted a man watching him put the moves on his potential mate - so began slowly ambling over to the man to scare him off.
The reptile manages to chase expedition leader Paul Rose back about 400 yards to get him off his territory on the deserted Assumption Island in Seychelles, before slowly turning back to his love nest.
Let's hope the female tortoise hadn't found a new mate by the time he got back!
