What will happen if a tortoise races a hare? Well, we all know what happened in the Aesop fables, but this is for real! 

A viral video on the internet showed a group of people, unsuprisingly from various generations, trying to figure out if a tortoise could really challenge the speedy mamal on a race track. Turns out, the hare is indeed lazy when it comes to crossing the finish line, and the tortoise is fully capable of making it pay. The Aesop fable was not wrong, after all.

As in the fables, the tortoise gently but steadily went past the finishing line while the hare decided to take breaks despite making a great start. The bunny refused to reach the finish line even after a senior woman tried to "shoo" it on. Instead, it decided to rest on the grassy track, the video showed.

The tortoise, meanwhile, needed no external pressure to march towards the finish line and emerge victorious.
