An amusing video has emerged of a turtle failing to climb onto a floating log – and knocking his companion off in the process.

In the footage, captured by a visitor to Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Reserve in Humble, Texas, the turtle tries to pull himself onto the log several times but only succeeds in knocking another turtle into the water.

“Hilarious turtle trying to climb on a log, fails, knocks other turtles back into the pond,” the filmer later wrote online.
