Here's something you don't see every day: Galapagos tortoises having sex. It was amazing to see these huge things get so excited, and the male (at least, whichever one was on top) was making a strange bellowing sound which sounded like nothing I'd ever heard before. A male peacock was watching, and eventually a crowd gathered, cheering on the pair with lewd remarks.
I took the above photo today at the Philadelphia Zoo, where I entertained a visitor on a day warm enough for T-shirts. The confused tortoises must have thought Spring had arrived.
(Bush's fault, no doubt.)

Galapagos tortoises may not look the part, but they hook up all the time! They're serious exhibitionists, and I say this as a woman who did more than my share of school field trips.
