The answer does not make sense because science tells us "Survival of the fittest" improves a species. In reality, this force could only destroy a species eventually. They have seen an effect of nature and identified it as a cause. Parents *give* resources for young. They *expend energy* to pass on their genes. Altruism, love, cooperation, relationship is weakness not fitness (by logic alone). "Survival of the fittest" is *useless*. The true driving force is "The most efficient sacrificer."
@Zerothis incorret. in evolution survival is based on the species that is best adapted to its envirment, not just the strongest. altruistic behavior is well decumented to have benaficual effects on a species, therefore these traits are based on.
Tortoises roll each other over intentionally or unintentionally males or females.
The fight doesn't end until one walks/runs away. The tortoise that is upside down is still in the other's territory and will continue being plowing into him until he walking away as the loser.
This strategy limits the number of tortoises killed by fights. Rarely is the over turned tortoises left upside down unless they are interrupted by a human or the like.
