Meet the world's fastest running tortoise

The tortoise, Brisk Birtie, has officially become the world record breaker recently by travelling 18ft at a 19.59 seconds jaw-dropping pace.

Bertie has beaten the time held by Charlie over 37 years ago, the Daily Star reported.

Marco Calzini, director of Adventure Valley where Bertie lives, said that the original record was set in 1977 which was 43.7 seconds so Bertie has definitely smashed the record.

Birtie has now just to pass the drug test.
