It is important for all of us to get out and see the world. The same is true of our animal companions. Just take this adorable tortoise, for example. Oh, and this tortoise goes by the name of Tiptoe, by the way. How cute is that!?
In this footage, Tiptoe is going for a car ride, and he couldn’t be happier to get out and see the world. It’s this kind of zest for life that really shows that animals have souls, just like us humans!
Well, isn’t that tortoise just having the time of his life! He gets to look out the car window and watch the world go by. Normally, if he were in his habitat, he would not be able to experience this kind of view or perspective of the world whizzing by.

Meanwhile, Instagram user mikeyhoerter joked that in spite of this tortoise’s species, they were not slow in this video when they wrote, “He’s never moved so fast in his life.”
Tiptoe Also Enjoys Movie Nights
As this other video shows, Tiptoe the tortoise, in addition to enjoying car rides, also enjoys the transporting qualities of movie magic.
In this footage, he and his human mama are getting ready for a movie night. This involves them getting plenty of tasty snacks for Tiptoe, as well as inviting over all of his canine besties to come watch the movie.
Quite adorably, all of them donned some dragon wings because they were watching How to Train Your Dragon and wanted to properly get into the spirit of the movie.
They were all as cute as could be, of course! But we think that Tiptoe enjoyed snacking on his tasty treats most of all.
It’s just so heartwarming to know that this beautiful tortoise gets to live such a fulfilling life! With car rides, entertaining movie-watching parties, and plenty of tasty treats, Tiptoe, the tortoise, is without a doubt living is best life!
