Brace yourselves, this might just be the absolute funniest animal video of the month, maybe even the entire year

Ever since Miley Cyrus started it at the last year's VMAs, we've had our fair share of twerking videos. Celebrities, regular folks, and even cats and dogs have so far given twerking a try.

Admittedly, some of them actually got it right and didn't make complete fools of themselves.

Then again, there is no way any living man, woman, or beast could ever master the art of twerking quite as well as the turtle featured in the video below does.

The footage made it online just a few days ago, on October 18, and it has already been viewed over 200,000 times. In fact, I for one dare say that it's become a viral sensation.

Unfortunately, the identity of the turtle featured in it is yet to be revealed. One can only assume it's a talented dancer who decided to dress as a turtle for Halloween, but whose skills on the dance floor eventually gave her away.

Then again, it is possible that, while we were busy minding our own business, turtles decided to set the basis for a dance school of their own.

If this is indeed what happened, there is little denying that they are doing a great job teaching themselves how to twerk.
