I don't have to outrun the tortoise. I only have to outrun you.

"I don't think any of us fancy trying to fight off 100 kilos of sex starved male tortoise trying to mount us,"
Many of life's problems can be solved by peacefully walking away.

Give him another politically motivated Best Documentary Palme D'or and he'll go away.

I am guessing they used the latex version of the "other turtle." It feels much more realistic than the blow up model. According to people who do that sort of thing.

kilo = 2.2 lbs *brought to you by your friends in metric-centric Canada*
Yet another disadvantage to having someone function as a surrogate mate for the beast is that, reportedly, tortoise foreplay goes on for seven weeks.

*sigh*....the above was supposed to be a long stretched out slow version of "Was it good for you too" but apparenetly the blog filter objected to the bandwith usage.

No one at the zoo foresaw that the old guy would be interested in cheating on his wife with a good looking model?

Tortoise wet dream.

Soon to be a 50-hour special on Animal Planet, and
also rerun on ESPN Replay. (The mating documentary will make even golf seem faster than a 3 lap Nascar event!)

Some days you outrun the tortoise, some days it outruns you.
