'Horrifying and Amazing'?

A film of a female Giant tortoise, in the Seychelles, chasing and eating a 'baby' bird, has been described as 'horrifying and amazing' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/23/horrifying-and-amazing-giant-tortoise-filmed-attacking-and-eating-baby-bird). The action of the tortoise might be 'surprising', as humans have labelled the reptile as being a 'strict herbivore'. This is presumably because the tortoise has not been previously recorded as feeding on anything except vegetation. Many animals are, however, opportunistic. A flightless 'baby' bird is one of the few vertebrates a Giant tortoise could catch and kill. Many female reptiles need extra protein, when they are producing eggs. I suspect they eat the odd insect when they are munching on grass. These are likely to go unrecorded.
