As Simon Cowell's TV fame factory The X-Factor proves, anyone can be a star... but a tortoise? Eating (or trying to eat) a slice of tomato? Really?

It looks like it, with videos of Kevin the tiny tortoise attempting to chow down on a variety of fruit and veg being sent here, there and everywhere by cute animal video fans this festive season.

Uploaded by his "mom" to the YouTube channel "KevinTortoise", it shows that our man Kevin has pretty terrible depth perception - but bloody loves his tomato.

If the clip has proved very nawwww-enducing, why not "like" Kevin on Facebook - no, really - and once you're done with that, check out his other big online hit below, where he actually takes a bite out of the blasted thing...

Watching a poor animal with obviously defective eyes while he's trying to nibble his food... is not particularly amusing.

All baby tortoises are like that. There's nothing defective.

Seriously. How coordinated were YOU when you were 2 months old? Just because you couldn't get the food into your face didn't mean there was anything defective about you. He's a very young tortoise. It's not unusual for them to have poor depth perception at 2 months old. For crying out loud, he was still in a shell 8 weeks ago! Cut the poor guy (and us for thinking the video is cute) a little slack!

I had already received a friendly explanation from 'lmynah'. Coming here six days later --as you did-- to angrily reiterate the same notion, was completely superfluous.

Among the commenters on this post you are the only one to find it "cute". I didn't discuss the cuteness in my comment, I still find it "not amusing", two different concepts.

I'm sure I may express my own opinion even if it differs from yours. Thank you for your understanding.
