Longtime readers will, I’ve no doubt, recognize that I have a bit of a thing for turtles. Our Lady of Perpetual Win certainly noticed, and sent along a link to Ed Yong’s slideshow at Not Rocket Science showing a pair of green turtles near Sri Lanka actually mating.
Yeah, that’s right, put on the Barry White, these turtles are gettin’ it on. All sexy-like, with the hot plastron-on-carapace action.
(Also: Stephanie sends me, and not you, porn. U jelly?)
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!
They usually have a clutch of a half dozen or so don’t they?
I love turtles too. Thanks for posting this.
Aliasalpha, one to two hundred eggs per clutch. No wonder they’re absentee parents!
