  1. Somebody on reddit said that it’s being “dominant,” and that’s its tail (turtles don’t have wangs, apparently).

    Dominating with little sighing baby noises and tail tickles, I dunno…

  2. My husband tells a great story about going to the San Diego Zoo when he was a teenager and seeing one of the ancient giant tortoises fucking another one. Apparently there were hilarious noises and horrified parents involved…

  3. @5: you haven’t lived until you’ve watched rhinos fucking when you’re standing next to your mom at the zoo. seriously, it’s like 3 feet long.

  4. I have lived in San Diego since I was five years old. It’s true about the giant tortoises, I have seen them mating several times. It is hilarious and sad. And the parents are horrified. All true.

  5. I have also seen the Galapagos Island Tortoises of the San Diego Zoo mating. It’s hilarious. Imagine the baby turtle, huuge, deeper voice, and longer, slower thrusts. Hilarious!

  6. @4: That might be his tail, but turtles do have wangs. From a veterinary site on box turtles:

    “During mating season, the male may exhibit increased activity and “penis fanning.” The penis resembles a purple flower that may be mistaken for a prolapse by those unfamiliar with the turtle’s normal anatomy.”
