What happens
On the Seychelles islands of Praslin and La Digue, with pink granite boulders and palm trees, a tortoise as big as an armchair stretches out its long neck and nudges the ball. Paradise flycatchers flit about with long ribbon tails, a giant double coconut gets mixed up with the ball, and the slowest race ever ends the episode.
