Default Female Tortoises will walk off a cliff to avoid relentless Male Courtship

[Female Hermann's tortoises
are reportedly walking off cliffs to escape
relentless and aggressive male courtship.]


This is in the Times Paper today.


Shocking these female Tortoises
prefer death to sex


Was debated on Ch5 AM live
Newspaper review.

Not exactly flattering behaviour, is it. Nature really said men need to calm down.

Scientists predict that the last female tortoise on the island will die in 2083…very sad, the sexual aggression from males may be the end of Hermann tortoise reproduction on the island…all contributing to extinction…

Are we sure the female tortoises don't simply identify as lemmings now?

We've all wanted to throw ourselves off something high to escape unwanted male attention at one time or another, right girls.

I had a Tortoise as a pet when i was a lad, it was always getting into scapes. One day he got mugged by a couple of Snails

I called the police and the officer asked him what had occurred, but sadly he could not recall

"It all happened so fast Officer," he said
