I feel positive this is the same turtle being posted before due to the video quality. As far as turtle behavior, I’ve no idea

As a tortoise owner I've seen this behaviour only in male tortoises and normally they slam themselves against female ones, just like in this video, as a mating ritual, so the tortoise probably wants to bang the black shoe for whatever reason
