Tortoise beats rabbit in China pet ski-off
// BEIJING: A tortoise beats a rabbit in a skiing competition held for pets and their owners in northern China, a report said on Tuesday.
Cats and dogs faced off against a menagerie including a rooster and a yellow duck in a race to the finish line on snowy slopes in China´s Hebei province, the state-run China News Service said.
The 40 human competitors were allowed to place their animals on skis or sledges, or could guide the pet with a lead while skiing, the report said.
In an unexpected outcome akin to an ancient Greek fable, a tortoise beat a rabbit, with the shelled reptile eventually claiming third place overall, the report said.
"Because the rabbit loved jumping and didn´t follow its owner´s commands, it was overtaken by the tortoise," it said.
The tortoise -- which would normally be expected to hibernate during the winter -- apparently hitched a ride on its owner´s ski equipment, the report added.
Pictures showed a yellow duck taking to the slopes in a fetching red neck tie, attracting curious stares from two dogs, before being held aloft by its owner who clutched a red certificate of honour after it waddled over the finish line...........//

A.R.Shams's Reflection:
The tortoise wins the race by virtue of his 'slow and steady' performance in non-stop persistence.
